The licensee committed in correspondence to the NRC dated January 24 and March 14, 1985, to remove Teflon tape in the Auxiliary Building by March 1, 1985.

All groups in Nuclear Production (not just the groups involved in the original violation), have been advised that Teflon tape is not to be installed in areas prohibited by the Power Chemistry Materials Guide.
Our response to violation 50-413/84-104-01 has been revised to indicate more clearly our intentions concerning the use of Teflon tape.
2.
The actions outlined in paragraph (1) will avoid further deviations in this area.
