Dear Mr. Wadley:

On April 8,1999, the NRC completed an inspection at the Monticello reactor facility. The

enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.

During the 6-week period covered by this inspection, your conduct of activities at the Monticello l

procedures.

Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has determined that a violation of NRC

requirements occurred. This violation is being treated as Non-Cited Violation (NCV), consistent

with Appendix C of the Enforcement Policy. The NCV is described in the subject inspection

report. If you contest the violation or severity level of the NCV, you should provide a response

within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the Nuclear

Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington DC 20555-0001, with

copies to the Regional Administrator, Region lil, and the Director, Office of Enforcement, United

States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001.

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

enclosure, and your response, if you choose to provide one, will be placed in the NRC Public

Document Room.

Sincerely,

/s/ R. D. Lanksbury
