Gentlemen:

This refers to the inspection conducted by Mr. W. G. Hubacek and other

members of our staff during the period March 21-23, 1978, of activities

authorized by NRC Construction Permit Nos. CPPR-128 and 129 for South

Texas Project, Units No. I and 2, and to the discussion of our findings

with Mr. W. N. Phillips and other members of your staff at the conclusion

of the inspection.

Areas examined during the inspection and our findings are discussed in

the enclosed inspection report. Within these areas, the inspection

consisted of selective examination of procedures and representative

records, interviews with personnel, and observations by the inspectors.

During this inspection, it was found that certain activities under your

license appear to be in noncompliance with Appendix B to 10 CFR 50 of

the NRC Regulations, " Quality Assurance- Criteria for Nuclear Power

Plants." The item of noncompliance and references to the pertinent

requirements are identified in the enclosed Notice of Violation.

Corrective actions to prevent recurrence were completed prior to the

conclusion of this inspection; therefore, a reply to the Notice of

Violation is not requested.

We have also examined actions you have taken with regard to previously

identified inspection findings. The status of these items is identified

in paragraph 2 of the enclosed report.

In accordance with Section 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part

2, Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, a copy of this letter and the

enclosed inspection report will be placed in the NRC's Public Document

Room. If the report contains any information that you believe to be

proprietary, it is necessary that you submit a written application 'to
