We have reviewed your corrective actions and hava no further questions at this time. These corrective actions will be examined during future inspections, in your response, you denied that Violation 5, involving a quality control cleanliness inspection during emergen;y diesel generator starting air check salve installation, was a violatir ; of NRC requirements. Specifically, you maintained that the quality control cleanliness inspection was performed correctly and that the manufacturer's material specification tag had become lodged between the check valve body and air system pipe flange during final assembly after that witness point had been satisfied. We reviewed pertinent documentation and interviewed personnel associated with this activity. Information provided supports your characterization of this occurrence and sve are, therefore, rescinding Violation 5.
