complies with the requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the rules and regulations of the Commission, and there is reasonable assurance that the activities authorized by this construction authorization, as revised, will be conducted in compliance with those rules and regulations, as more fully documented in the Final Safety Evaluation Report (FSER) in the CAR; B.
in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 70.23(b),
on the basis of information described in the CAR, as revised, and the additional statements and commitments heretofore made by MOX Services in docketed correspondence listed in Attachment A, the design bases of the principal structures, systems, and components (PSSCs) for the proposed Mixed Oxide Fuel Fabrication Facility (MFFF) [sometimes referred to, hereafter, as Athe facility@], and the quality assurance program, provide reasonable assurance of protection against natural phenomena and the consequences of potential accidents; C.
findings necessary to authorize possession and use of licensed material at the facility are deferred pending evaluation of an application requesting such a license; D.
after weighing the environmental, economic, technical, and other benefits of the facility against environmental costs, and considering available alternatives, the issuance of a construction authorization, as revised, is in accordance with 10 CFR 70.23(a)(7), 10 CFR Part 51, and the requirements of Sections 102(2)(A) and (C) of the National Environmental Policy Act; and E.
the issuance of this construction authorization, as revised, will not be inimical to the common defense and security, and will not constitute an unreasonable risk to the health and safety of the public.

During construction of the facility, the inspection program set forth in 10 CFR 70.55 will apply to all of MOX Services construction-related activities.
E.
As more fully set forth in the FSER for the CAR, the facility will be designed so that effective neutron multiplication factor (keff) shall not exceed an upper subcritical limit of 0.9249 for normal and credible abnormal conditions covered by Area of Applicability (4), [AOA(4)].
