\\f....*f DETROIT EDISON COMPANY WOLVERINE POWER StlPPLY COOPERATIVE, INCORPORATED DOCKET NO. 50-341 FERMI-2 AMENDMENT TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE Amendment No. 1 License No. NPF-43 1.

The Nuclear Reculatory Comission (the Commission or the NRC) having found that:

A.

The application for amendment filed by the Detroit Edison Company (the licensee), dated December 23, 1985, as supplemented by letters dated February 4, 1986, and April 23, 1986, complies with the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act),

and the Commission's regulations set forth in 10 CFR Chapter I; R.

The facility will operate in conformity with the application, the provisions of the Act, and the regulations of the Commission; C.

There is reasonable assurance: (1) that the activities authorized by this amendment can be conducted without endancerir.g the health and safety of the oublic, and (ii) that such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations set forth in 10 CFR Chapter I; D.

The issuance of this amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public; and E.

The issuance of this amendment is in accordance with 10 CFR Part 51 of the Commission's regulations and all applicable requirements have been satisfied.

2.

Accordingly, the license is amended by changes to the Technical Specifica-tions as indicated in the enclosure to this license amendment and paragraph 2.C.(2) of the Facility Operating License No. NPF-43 is hereby amended to read as follows:

(2) Technical Specifications and Envirorrnental Protection Plan The Technical Specifications contained in Appendix A, as revised through Amendment No. 1, and the Environmental Protection Plan contained in Appendix B, are hereby incorporated in the license. DECO shall operate the facility in accordance with the Technical Specifications and the Environmental Protection Plan.
