these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective examination of procedures i

and representative records,- observations, and interviews with personnel.

Based on the results of this inspection, certain of your activities appeared'

to be in violation- of NRC requirements, as specified _in the enclosed Notice of

there were multiple examples of improperly maintained contaminated area

because it represents a lack of attention to detail and poor exercise of care

your receipt of this Notice, _a written statement of explanation, we note' that-
