Text

(1) Maximum Power Level PSEG Nuclear LLC is authorized to operate the facility at a steady state reactor core power level not in excess of 3459 megawatts (one hundred percent of rated core power).

(2) Technical Specifications The Technical Specifications contained in Appendices A and B, as revised through Amendment No.280are hereby incorporated in the license. The licensee shall operate the facility in accordance with the Technical Specifications.

(3) Deleted Per Amendment 22, 11-20-79 (4) Less than Four Loop Operation PSEG Nuclear LLC shall not operate the reactor at power levels above P-7 (as defined in Table 3.3-1 of Specification 3.3.1.1 of Appendix A to this license) with less than four (4) reactor coolant loops in operation until safety analyses for less than four loop operation have been submitted by the licensees and approval for less than four loop operation at power levels above P-7 has been granted by the Commission by Amendment of this license.

(5) PSEG Nuclear LLC shall implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the approved fire protection program as described in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report, and as approved in the NRC Safety Evaluation Report dated November 20, 1979, and in its supplements, subject to the following provision:

PSEG Nuclear LLC may make changes to the approved fire protection program without prior approval of the Commission only if those changes would not adversely affect the ability to achieve and maintain safe shutdown in the event of a fire.

Amendment No.280

DEFINITIONS REACTOR TRIP SYSTEM RESPONSE TIME 1.26 The REACTOR TRIP SYSTEM RESPONSE TIME shall be the time interval from when the monitored parameter exceeds its trip setpoint at the channel sensor until loss of stationary gripper coil voltage.

REPORTABLE EVENT 1.27 A REPORTABLE EVENT shall be any of those conditions specified in Section 50.73 to 10CFR Part 50.

SHUTDOWN MARGIN 1.28 SHUTDOWN MARGIN shall be the instantaneous amount of reactivity by which the reactor is subcritical br would be subcritical from its present condition assuming all full length rod cluster assemblies (shutdown and control) are fully inserted except for the single rod cluster assembly of highest reactivity worth which is assumed to be FULLY WITHDRAWN.

SITE BOUNDARY 1.29 The SITE BOUNDARY shall be that line beyond which the land is not owned, leased, or otherwise controlled by the licensee, as shown in Figure 5.1-3, and which defines the exclusion area as shown in Figure 5.1-1.

SOLIDIFICATION 1.30 Not Used SOURCE CHECK 1.31 SOURCE CHECK shall be the qualitative assessment of channel response when the channel sensor is exposed to either (a) an external source of increased radioactivity, or(b) an internal source of radioactivity (keep-alive source), or (c) an equivalent electronic source check.

STAGGERED TEST BASIS 1.32 A STAGGERED TEST BASIS shall consist of:

a. A test schedule for (n) systems, subsystems, trains, or other designated components obtained by dividing the specified test interval into (n) equal subintervals.
