we have exercised our discretion as allowed under the NRC enforcement policy,

and have not included these items in the enclosed Notice of Violation.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regulations, a copy of

this letter, the enclosures, and your response to this letter will be placed
