These violations are cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice) and the circumstances

surrounding the violations are described in detailin the enclosed report. Please note that you

are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instru;;tions specified in the enclosed

Notice when preparing your response. The NRC will use your response, in part, to determine

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its
