procedures (EOPs) are technically accurate; that their specified act'ons can
be
meaningfully
accomplished

existing
equipment,
controls
and
instrumentation; and that available procedures have the usability necessary to
provide the operator with an effective operating tool.
The enclosed copy of our inspection report identifies areas examined during
the inspection.
Within these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective
examination
of
procedures
and
representative
records,
observations
and
interviews with personnel.

and 7 of the enclosed report).
These items were discussed with your staff
during the inspection.
We request that you formally transmit to Region I your
plans for corrective actions related to the deficiencies within 30 days of
receipt, of this letter.
