1

(NUREG/CR-3085). The equipment inspection focused on the availability of

critical components as evidenced by plant conditions and implementation of

programs to assure operability. In addition, this inspection examined the

l ability of the Millstone staff to utilize procedures and equipment to recover

l from accident sequences. These areas are described in the NRC Region I Inspec-

tion Report which is enclosed with this letter.

Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examinations of

procedures and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observa-

tion of equipment and simulated activities by the inspectors.

the Notice of Violation, enclosed herewith as Appendix A. These violations
