Dear Mr. Miller:

This refers to the fire safety inspection conducted on April 14-18,1997, at the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant. The purpose of the inspection was to ascertain the adequacy of the facility's fire safety program. At the conclusion of the inspection, the findings and conclusions were discussed with Mr. Dale Allen, General Manager, and members of his staff.

Areas reviewed during the inspection are identified in the enclosed inspection report. The inspection consisted of selective walk-through of buildings, examinations of procedures and records, interviews with personnel, and observations. No violations or deviations were identified. However, based upon the areas reviewed, weaknesses and deficiencies were identified in your fire safety program. The inspectors opened four inspector Follow-up Items, and the site staff committed to appropriately resolve these matters, in accordance with the NRC's " Rules of Practices," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be placed in the appropriate NRC Public Document Rooms. Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, we will be pleased to discuss them with you.
