Within these areas, the inspection consisted of an examination of procedures and representa-tive records, interviews with personnel, and observations by the inspector.

In addition,10 CFR Part 21 requirements were not met.
These failures are indicative of a lack of management involvement in the quality assurance function and warrant your prompt attention. The specific findings and references to the pertinent requirements are identified in the enclosures to this letter.
