We have also examined actions you have taken with regard to previously
irtentified inspection findings. The status of these items is identified in
paragraph 2 of the enclosed report.
<
The inspection report (Section 2.b) notes that while progress has been made to
improve your corrective action program, management needs to direct renewed
emphasis toward further improvement in the program. Of particular concern is
the relatively large rumber of Nonconfonnance Reports from 1986 and earlier
'
that are unresolved for a variety of reasons.
Further managen nt attention is
needed relative to the corrective action program.
The inspection report identifies apparent v ulations related to helium
l.
circulator installation without appropriate authorizatien and failure to
)
control special 3rocesses. While written response is required within 30 days
of the date of tiis letter, we also believe it is appropriate to meet with
1
you to obtain an earlier indication of how you plan to address the technical
1
aspects and generic implications related to the apparent violations. We will
j
contact you separately to arrange a convenient time for a management meeting
which should be held prior to restart from the present outage.
,
The responses directed by this letter and the accorrpanying Notices are not
subject to the clearance procedures of the Office of h tagement and Budget as
required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980. PL 96-511.
)
Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, we will be pleased to
'
]
discuss them with you.
