We have determined that the system which you have descr.ibed should provide sufficient capability to localize losses in Plant I. Accordingly, the Materials and Plant Protection Amendment, MPP-1, to License No, SNM-696 is hereby amended, effective immediately, to incorporate revised Section 2.1.2.3 in your FNMC Plan.

We have determined that your letter dated October 11, 1978 and the attachment contain information of a type specified in 10 CFR 2.790(d).

Accordingly, pursuant to Section 2.790(d)(1), such information is deemed to be commercial or financial information within the meaning of 10 CFR 9.5(a)(4) and shall be subject to disclosure only in accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 9.12.
