SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT 70-7001/99001(DNMS) l
Dear Mr. Adkins:
On February 23,1999, the NRC completed a routine resident inspection at your Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant. The enclosed report presents the results of the inspection. During the period covered by the inspection report, the conduct of safety-related activities at the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant was generally adequate.
While the inspection report does not include any cited violations, several of the inspectors' findings indicated continuing problems with some plant staff's understanding and adherence to long-standing plant policies and procedures. These problems contributed to nuclear criticality safety controls not being implemented in a timely manner and the delayed identification and l control of classified information. .We will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of your l corrective actions to increase the plant staff's overalllevel of understanding and implementation j of plant policies and procedures.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and the attached report will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
l l
We will gladly discuss any questions you have concerning these observations.
Sincerely,
/s/ C. D. Pederson for Patrick L. Hiland, Chief Fuel Cycle Branch Docket No. 70-7001 Certificate No. GDP-1
