This refers to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted

activities authorized for your Vogtle Unit I facility. At the conclusion of

Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report. Within

these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures

and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observation of

activities in progress.

The inspection findings indicate that certain activities appeared to violate i

NRC requirements. The violations, references to pertinent requirements, and

elements tu be included in your response are described in the enclosed Notice

of Violation.

We are particularly concerned about the adequacy of your corrective action

program. Each example cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation had been

previously identified to you by the NRC as a violation or weakness. In fact,

the violation pertaining to operator required reading was previously cited for

failure to take adequate corrective action. Aggressive management attention i

is needed to strengthen your corrective action program.  ;

The responses directed by this letter and its enclosures are not subject to the  !

clearance procedures of the Office of Management and Budget as required by the  !
