Part 70; Is subject to all applicable provisions of the Act and to the rules, regulations, and orders of the Commission now or hereafter in effect; and is subject to the additional conditions specified or incorporated below:

A. Maximum Power.Level The licensee is authorized to operate the facility at steady state reactor care power levels not in excess of 2568 megawatts thermal.

B. Technical Specifications The Technical Specifications contained inAppendix A, as revised through Amendment No. 354 are hereby Incorporated In the license. The licensee shall operate the facility in accordance with the Technical Specifications.

C. This license is subject to the following antitrust conditions:

Applicant makes the commitments contained herein, recognizing that bulk power supply arrangements between neighboring entities normally tend to serve the public interest In addition, where there are net benefits to all participants, such arrangements also serve the best Interests of each of the participants. Among the benefits of such transactions are Increased electric system reliability, a reduction In the cost of electric power, and minimization of the environmental effects of the production and sale of electricity.

Any particular bulk power supply transaction may afford greater benefits to one participant than to another. The benefits realized by a small system may be proportionately greater than those realized by a larger system. The relative benefits to be derived by the parties from a proposed transaction, however, should not be controlling upon a decision with respect to the desirability of participating In the transaction. Accordingly, applicant will enter Into proposed bulk power transactions of the types hereinafter described which, on balance, provide net benefits to applicant There are net benefits In a transaction Ifapplicant recovers the cost of the transaction (as defined In¶1 (d) hereof) and there is no demonstrable net detriment to applicant arising from that transaction.

1. As used herein:

(a) "Bulk Powerm means electric power and any attendant energy, supplied or made available at transmission or sub-transmission voltage by one electric system to another.

(b) "Neighboring Entity" means a private or public corporation, a governmental agency or authority, a municipality, a cooperative, or a lawful association of any of the foregoing owning or operating, or Renewed License No. DPR-38 Amendment No. 354

Part 70; is subject to all applicable provisions of the Act and to the rules, regulations, and orders of the Commission now or hereafter in effect; and is subject to the additional conditions specified or incorporated below:.

A. Maximum Power Level The licensee is authorized to operate the facility at steady state reactor core power levels not in excess of 2568 megawatts thermal.

B. Technical Specifications The Technical Specifications contained inAppendix A,as revised through Amendment No. 356 ,3re hereby incorporated In the license. The licensee shall operate the facility In accordance with the Technical Specifications.

C. This license is subject to the following antitrust conditions:

The benefits realized by a small system may be proportionately greater than those realized by a larger system. The relative benefits to be derived by the parties from a proposed transaction, however, should not be controlling upon a decision with respect to the desirability of paricipating in the transaction. Accordingly, applicant will enter into proposed bulk power transactions of the types hereinafter described which, on balance, provide net benefits to applicant.

There are net benefits In a transaction if applicant recovers the cost of the transaction (as defined in ¶1l(d) hereof) and there Is no demonstrable net detriment to applicant arising from that transaction.

AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1 BASES ACTIONS C.1, C.2.1, C.2.2.1, C.2.2.2, C.2.2.3, C.2.2.4, and C.2.2.5 (continued) repairs which are estimated to be necessary every six to eight years.

Also, generator thrust and guide bearing replacements are necessary.

Other items which manifest as failures are expected to be rare and may be performed during the permitted maintenance periods. As such, the 45 day restoration time of Required Action C.2.2.5 is allowed only once in a three year period for each KHU. This Completion Time is 45 days from discovery of initial inoperability of the KHU. This effectively limits the time the KHU can be inoperable to 45 days from discovery of initial inoperability rather than 45 days from entry into Condition C and precludes any additional time that may be gained as a result of switching an inoperable KHU from the underground to the overhead emergency power path. The Completion Time is modified by a note indicating an additional 30 days is allowed when entering Condition C prior to November 3, 2006 at 1029 hours0.0119 days <br />0.286 hours <br />0.0017 weeks <br />3.915345e-4 months <br />.

Required Actions C.2.2.1, C.2.2.2, C.2.2.3, and C.2.2.4 must be met in order to allow the longer restoration times of Required Action C.2.2.5.

Required Action C.2.2.1 requires that both standby buses be energized using an LCT through the 100 kV transmission circuit. With this arrangement (100 kV transmission circuit electrically separated from the system grid and all offsite loads), a high degree of reliability for the emergency power system is provided. In this configuration, the LCT is serving as a second emergency power source, however, since the 100 kV transmission circuit is vulnerable to severe weather a time limit is imposed. The second Completion Time of Required Action C.2.2.1 permits the standby buses to be re-energized by an LCT within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> in the event this source is subsequently lost. Required Action C.2.2.2 requires suspension of KHU generation to the grid except for testing.

The restriction reduces the number of possible failures which could cause loss of the underground emergency power path. Required Action C.2.2.3 requires verifying by administrative means that the remaining KHU and its required underground emergency power path and both required offsite sources are OPERABLE. This provides additional assurance that offsite power will be available. In addition, this assures that the KHU and its required underground emergency power path are available.

Required Action C.2.2.3 also requires verifying by administrative means.

that the requirements of the following LCOs are met:
