Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has concluded that you have adequately completed a root cause analysis of the issue, and have identified appropriate corrective actions to prevent recurrence of the issue. No findings were identified concerning the root cause evaluation and corrective actions. The NRC has determined that inspection objectives stated above have been met.
