3) fire detection and fire control; 4) natural gas valves: 5) nuclear i criticality detection: 6) pellet carts; 7) pressure relief valves; and  ;

Section 1.4 of the License Application stipulates that when a '

measurement, surveillance, and/or other frequency is specified in License documents, the following applies: QUARTERLY frequency means four per year, with each covering a span of 115 days or less.
