Gentlemen:

This refers to the inspection conducted by Messrs. E. H. Johnson and

G. L. Constable of this office during the period October 2-5, 1978, of

activities authorized by NRC Operating License DPR-46, and to the

discussions of the findings with Mr. P. V. Thomason.

Principal areas examined during the inspection included: (1) review of

offgas system; (2) requalification training program; (3) safety limits,

limiting safety system settings and LC0's; (4) mair,tenance activities;

and (5) follow up IE Circular 78-08. Within these areas, the inspection

consisted of selective examination of procedures and representative

records, interviews with personnel, and observations by the inspectors.

Two new unresolved items were identified and are included in the enclosed

report.

Based on the results of this inspection it appears that certain of your

activities were not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements, as

set forth in the Notice of Violation, enclosed herewith as Enclosure (1).

This notice is sent to you pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.201 of

the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2, Code of Federal Regulations. Section

2.201 requires you to submit to this office within 20 days of your receipt

of this notice, a written statement or explanation in reply including:

(1) corrective steps which have been taken by you, and the results achieved;

(2) corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further noncompliance;

and (3) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Since the

corrective action for Deficiency B of Enclosure (1) was accomplished prior

to the completion of the inspection and verified by the inspector, no

further reply is required for this item at this time.
