assure that valves are properly aligned, insufficient supervisory attention to
assure that limits such as the heatup rate limit during startup are not exceeded,
and inadequate management attention to assure that safety related equipment such
as the drywell oxygen analyzers are maintained in a fully operational status
during plant operation. Consequently, in your reply, you should describe in
particular, those actions taken or planned to improve the effectiveness of your
managenent control systems in these areas.
