B. Technical Specifications The Technical Specifications contained in Appendix A, as revised through Amendment No. 230, are hereby incorporated in the license. The licensee shall operate the facility in accordance with the Technical Specifications.
C. Records ENO shall keep facility operating records in accordance with the requirements of the Technical Specifications.
D. Equalizer Valve Restriction - DELETED E. Recirculation Loop Inoperable - DELETED F. Fire Protection ENO shall implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the approved fire protection program as described in the Final Safety Analysis Report for the facility and as approved in the SER dated December 21, 1978 as supplemented subject to the following provision:
ENO 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.
G. Physical Protection The licensee shall fully implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the Commission-approved physical security, training and qualification, and safeguards conting/ency plans including amendments made pursuant to provisions of the Miscellaneous Amendments and Search Requirements revisions to 10 CFR 73.55 (51 FR2781 7 and 27822) and to the authority of 10 CFR 50.90 and 10,CFR 50.54(p).
