efforts to better define the design bases, to improve documentation, and to strengthen the
quality and efft&eness of Engineering were producing positive results. Our review also
identified incon.ga oacumentation of your review of the extent of condition of identified
problems. This was pa ticularly evident in the resolution of the findings you identified during the
environmental qualification self-assessment.

.regarding the battery surveillance test procedure acceptance criteria. This violation is being
