The enclosed copy of our inspection report identifies areas examined

Under the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement
Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C, Supplement I.C.1, Item 1 of the
enclosed notice could be categorized as a Severity Level III.
However,
considering the time frame over which the violation occurred and the fact
that the fire service water piping remained filled and pressurized well
in excess of calculated containment peak accident pressure when the
associated manual containment isolation valves were open, we have
classified this violation at Severity Level IV.
As discussed in Paragraph 6. of the enclosed inspection report, reviews
of corrective action implementation for reportable events were conducted
during this inspection. These reviews identified a number of instances
where implementation of corrective actions specified in Licensee Event
Reports had been deferred for considerable periods of time, though
restraints upon implementation were not evident. We are concerned that
