Show Cause Items 1,2,3, Items 4, A major portion of the 6,7,8,9 5,10 objective evidence for Items 1,2,3,6,7,8 and 9 has been reviewed. The nature of some of the comitment will cause these items to stay open well into 1982 unless we can close some of the Show Cause items with-out being sure the comit-ment was implemented.

~

Recomend Task Force / Management meet to decide how to handle items which will remain open for 1-2 years. Will the Show Cause Order stay open for two years?

The follow up inspection is still considered the number one oriority since one annot reasonably and logically do routine "CY ptotram work until corrective actions are completed. Thus the RRI will continue to perform follow up inspec-tiondaring the January,1981 inspection' period and "C" inspection the balance of'the time.
