<
these violations, in writing, in accordance with the provisions-of '
Section 2.201 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2, Title 10, Code of

The NRC staff is also concerned with the number of AP&L's failures to report
events as required or report events within the times allotted by NRC-
i
requirements. The NRC staff does not, at this time, consider these failures to
be indicative of a significant breakdown in your program for satisfying NRC
_
.i
reporting requirements. However, increased management' attention is required _ in -
I
'
this area to assure future failures in your program do not recur. A management:
meeting to discuss these issues will be scheduled with the Region IV staff in
the near future.'

Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, we will be pleased to
J
discuss them with you.
