Deddens As indicated'in GL 89-10, pursuant to 10' CFR 50.54(f) you are required to advise the NRC in writing whether the reconnendations and schedule. outlined in the generic letter will be met.. In addition, you are required to identify any.reconnendations or dates that will not be net-and to provide technical
