The inspection findings are documented in

the enclosed inspection report.

During this inspection, it was found that certain of your activities were a

No response is required; however, your attention to

the unresolved item that has the potential of becoming a violation in the

l

future is warranted.

j

a timely manner.

Although not specifically stated in 10 CFR Part SS, the NRC's
