of selected

interviews with personnel,

and

and

elements

to

be included in your'esponse

are described

second

example of violation B,

as described

Notice, is

similar to

NRC

Policy,

is

the

NRC,

give

particular attention in your response

to the identification of the root cause

of this problem and your corrective action to prevent recurrence.
