Mr. 'R. Borchardt with Mr. J. Franz and other members of.your staff during, and
at the conclusion, of.the inspection.
Areas examined during this inspection are described in the Region I Inspection
Report which is enclosed with this letter.
The purpose or this inspection was to assess readiness of the facility to
resume full power operation following the completion of the first refueling
outage by insuring that adequate measures have been employed to control main-
tenance, surveillance testing, and plant modification activities.
This was
accomplished by observing in process activities, reviewing administrative
programs and procedures, interviewing personnel, and touring the facility.
Based on the results of this inspection, it appears that one of your activities
was not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements as set forth in the
Notice of Violation, enclosed herewith as Appendix A.

categorized by severity level in accordance with the " General Statement of
Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Action," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C.

review of the Temporary Circuit Alterations (TCAs) and the remote shutdown
panel surveillance test necessary to be performed prior to plant startup. The
