.(1)' Several violations were discussed and the' root cause appeared

.to'be a lack of understanding of the design basis and proper operation of the' system by the licensee's staf (2) The licensee was encouraged to continue its engineering design basis development program and implementation of the systems engineer progra (3) The integration of the engineering improvement program into-

-operations, maintenance, testing and training was discussed and recognized as a major contributor to the licensee's performance in this fun,ctional are The' licensee committed to continuing the design basis development-and systems engineer program The licensee had presently 25 system engineers and,5 supervisory engineers in the program, Quality Assurance Reorganization
