During this inspection, certain of your activities appeared to be in violation

of NRC requirements, as described in the enclosed Notice. With respect to

Item 2.b. , the inspection showed that action had been ta' ten to correct the

identified violation and to prevent recurrence. Our understanding of your

corrective actions are described in Paragraph 8.g of the enclosed inspection

further questions regarding this matter at this time. Regarding the remainir.g

Your staff also stated that control room critical drawings had been reviewed

and found to be acceptable. The NRC plans to conduct a future inspection to

review these corrective actions. x
