activities authorized for your Catawba facility. At the conclusion of the

activities in progress.

The inspection findings indicate that certain activities appeared to violate

NRC requiiements. The violation, references to pertinent requirements, and

elements to be included in your response are described in the enclosed Notice

As discussed in the enclosed report, the NRC considers that licensee personnel l

should be more sensitive to reporting and providing complete timely information

when significant plant conditions, such as loose parts on the secondary side of

steam generators in conjunction with tube degradation, are found. NRC considers

such conditions serious and needs to know the complete details as soon as

information is known.

In accordance with Section 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," Part 2,

Title 20, Code of Federal Regulations, a copy of this letter and its enclosures

will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
