It was also pointed out that since January 1st, eight Licensee Event Reports (LERs) were reported, involving 22 Technical Specification (TS) required surveillances that had not been performed within the TS allowed time limits. Mr. Dodds indicated that these LEPs raised questions into the adequacy of the licensee's corrective actions and Quality Assurance (QA)/ Quality Control (QC)
