             Dear Mr. Terry:
             This refers to the inspection conducted on August 22 through October 2,1999, at the
             Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station, Units 1 and 2, facility. The enclosed report presents
             the results of this inspection.
             During this 6-week inspection period, activities at your facility were generally characterized by
             safety-conscious operations, sound engineering and maintenance, and acceptable radiological
             controls, with noted exceptions.
             Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has determined that two Severity Level IV
             violations of NRC requirements occurred. These violations are being treated as noncited
             violations (NCVs), 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, U.S. Nuclear
