agree  Kevin G: Agree! A corrective action is "opened" when a non-conformity has been identified, thus it needs to be "closed" once it has been implemented.

negotiate corrective action plans and due dates for the clearing of non-conformances
should he not be satisfied with due dates supplied by operators, while they will also
*follow-up and sign off* corrective actions or take other appropriate action such as
suspension of the operator if that is relevant.
