The Atomic Energy Commission (the Comission) having found that:
A.
The application for construqtion permit complies with the require-ments of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission, there is. reasonable assurance that the activities authorized by the permit will be conducted in compliance with the rules' and regulations of the Comission, and all required notifications to other agencies or bodies have been duly =cde; B.
The Philadelphia Electric Cor:pany (the applicant) has describcd the proposed design of the Limerick Generating Station, Unit 1 (the facility), including, but not limited to, the principal architectural and engineering criteria for the design and has-identified the major features or components incorporated therein for the protection of the health and safety of the public; C.
Such further technical or design information as may be required to complete the safety analysis, and which can reasonably be left for later consideration, will be supplied in the final safety analysis report; i
D.
Safety features or components,.if any, which r' quire research e
and development have been described by the applicant and.the applicant has ide'ntified, and there will be conducted, a re-search and development program reasonably designed to resolve any safety questions associated with such features or components; E.
On the basis of the foregoing, there is reasonable assurance that (i) such safety questions will be satisfactorily resolved at or before the latest,date stated in the application for.
