- Entergy's completed or planned corrective actions are sufficient to address th e root and contributing
causes and prevent recurrence.
Inspectors also independently reviewed the extent of condition and extent of cause and performed an independent assessment of the site's safety culture.Pilgrim-95002 Supplemental Inspection -Objectives 10 6*Inspectors identified deficiencies regarding Entergy's execution of corrective actions, as well as understanding of some of the causes
of the issues.-Several examples in the root cause evaluations where corrective actions were not completed as intended or were closed prematurely; and-For one of the scrams, inspectors determined that Entergy failed to investig ate a deficient condition sufficiently to ensure they fully understood all of
