                   .The enclosed copy of our inspection report identifies areas examined during
                    the inspection. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective
                    examination of procedures and representative records, observations, and
                    interviews with personnel.
                   -During this inspection, certain of your activities appeared to be in violation of
                    NRC requirements, as described in the enclosed Notice.     With respect to Item b the
                    inspection showed that actions had been taken to correct the violation identified

                    and to prevent recurrence. Our understanding of your corrective actions is
                    described in Paragraph 5.b of the enclosed inspection report. Consequently,              ;
                    no reply:to'the violation-is required and we have no further questions regarding

                    In addition, two program weaknesses were identified concerning testing of
                    your. security power supply system and your metal detectors. These weaknesses
                    are addressed in Sections 5.c and 5.d of the enclosed Inspection Report. We
                    request that you inform us, in writing within 30 days of the date of this
                    letter, of your corrective actions for these weaknesses.
                    Areas examined during this inspection concern a subject matter which is
                    exempt from disclosure according to Part 73, Title 10, Code of Federal
