- to request material needed to support the on-site and off-site reviews. The team leader and two team members of the inspection team are scheduled to visit the site between April 20 and 22,-
1998, to review administrative aspects of the inspection and to collect documentation necessary

Recent NRC inspections at nuclear power reactor facilities have identified numerous findings where the plant configuration or operations were inconsistent with the design basis, licensing basis, or the updated safety analysis report (UFSAR). Therefore, the NRC has' decided to perform design inspections at nuclear power reactor facilities utilizing Inspection Procedure 93801, " Safety System Functional inspection."
Mr. Roy Mathew, Team Leader, NRR, will interface with you and your staff regarding all m' tters a
related to this inspection. The inspection will be performed by a team of five engineers from
