SUBJECT: RESPONSE TO NOTICE OF VIOLATIONS AND NRC INSPECTION

REPORT 05000482/2009005

Dear Mr. Sunseri:

Thank you for your letter of March 11, 2010, in response to our February 11, 2010, letter and

Notice of Violations regarding the failure to identify and correct leakage from the refueling water

storage tank and to correctly translate the design basis into specifications, drawings and

procedures to prevent the formation of voids in the reactor vessel head during shutdown

operations. We have reviewed your reply and find it responsive to the concerns raised in our

Notice of Violations. We will review the implementation of your corrective actions during a

future inspection to determine that full compliance has been achieved and will be maintained.

Sincerely,

/RA/
