in a timely manner, a correction to the original Part 21 reoc-t, dated July 13, 1984, despite informotion known to Westinghouse, as early as April 1985, l recognizing that implementation of the original recommendations may lead to a i possible violation of containnent isolation criteria for certain plants.

until approximately two years later. This issue related to a potential over-pressure condition in the conponent cooling water systems designed by )
