Areas examined during the inspection included the chemistry / radiochemistry

program and water chemistry and radiochemistry confirmatory measurements. l

Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examination of '

procedures and representative records, interviews with personnel, and  !

observations by the NRC inspectors. The inspection findings are documented in  !

Within the scope of the inspection, no violations or deviations were '

functions. Accordingly, you are requested to respond, in writing, within  ;

30 days of the date of this letter, out*"ining the steps taken to ensure

complete operability of all PASS design functions including reactor coolant

system sample degasification and to ensure that all PASS design functions are ,

maintained operational. Your response should address the root causes of the '

problems along with short and long-te m corrective actions to maintain PASS

reliability. ,

! We have also examined actions you have taken with regard to previously

identified inspection findings. The status of these items is identifitd in i

paragraph 2 of the enclosed report.  !
