Dear Mr. Eaton:

This refers to the inspection conducted on January 31 through March 20,1999, at the Grand

During the 7-week period covered by this inspection, your conduct of activities at the Grand

consistent with Appendix C of the Enforcement Policy. These NCVs are described in the

subject inspection report. If you contest the violation or severity level of these NCVs, you

should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for

your denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk,

Washington DC 20555-0001, with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region IV, and the

Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington,

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its
