Gentlemen:

This refers to the inspection conducted by Mr. J. 'R. Boardman of this office

Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examination of

observations by the inspectors. The inspection findings are documented in the

enclosed inspection report.

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

Regulations. Your response should be based on the specifics contained in the

Notice of Violation enclosed with this letter.

We are concerned by the generic implications of the problem identified in the
