or indirectly any control over (i) the facility, (ii)power or energy produced by the facility, or (iii) the licensees of the facility. Further, any rights acquired under this authorization may be exercised only in compliance with and subject to the requirements and restrictions of this operating license, the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and the NRC's regulations. For purposes of this condition, the limitations of 10 CFR 50.81, as now in effect and as they may be subsequently amended, are fully applicable to the equity investors and any successors in interest to the equity investors, as long as the license for the facility remains in effect.

(b) Entergy Louisiana, LLC (or its designee) to notify the NRC in writing prior to any change in (i) the terms or conditions of any lease agreements executed as part of the above authorized financial transactions, (ii)any facility operating agreement involving a licensee' that is in effect now or will be in effect in the future, or (iii) the existing property insurance coverages for the facility, that would materially alter the representations and conditions, set forth in the staffs Safety Evaluation enclosed to the NRC letter dated September 18, 1989. In addition, Entergy Louisiana, LLC or its designee is required to notify the NRC of any action by equity investors or successors in interest to Entergy Louisiana, LLC that may have an effect on the operation of the facility.

C. This license shall be deemed to contain and is subject to the conditions specified in the Commission's regulations set forth in 10 CFR Chapter 1 and is subject to all applicable provisions of the Act and to the rules, regulations and orders of the Commission now or hereafter in effect; and is subject to the additional conditions specified or incorporated below:

1. Maximum Power Level EOI is authorized to operate the facility at reactor core power levels not in excess of 3716 megawatts thermal (100% power) in accordance with the conditions specified herein.

2. Technical Specifications and Environmental Protection Plan The Technical Specifications contained in Appendix A, as revised through Amendment No. 206 and the Environmental Protection Plan contained in Appendix B, are hereby incorporated in the license. EOI shall operate the facility in accordance with the Technical Specifications and the Environmental Protection Plan.

AMENDMENT NO.

REACTIVITY CONTROL SYSTEMS MODERATOR TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION 3.1.1.3 The moderator temperature coefficient (MTC) shall be within the limits specified in the COLR. The maximum upper design limit shall be:

a. Less positive than 0.5 x 104 delta k/k/cF whenever THERMAL POWER is S7 0%

RATED THERMAL POWER, and

b. Less positive than 0.0 x 10Q4 delta k/k/OF whenever THERMAL POWER is >70%

RATED THERMAL POWER.

APPLICABILITY: MODES 1 and 2 OX2)

ACTION:

With the moderator temperature coefficient outside any one of the above limits, be in at least HOT STANDBY within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />.

SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS 4.1.1.3.1 The MTC shall be determined to be within its limits by confirmatory measurements.

MTC measured values shall be extrapolated and/or compensated to permit direct comparison with the above limits.(3) 4.1.1.3.2 The MTC shall be determined at the following frequencies and THERMAL POWER conditions during each fuel cycle:

a. Prior to initial operation above 5% of RATED THERMAL POWER, after each fuel loading.(3)

b. At greater than 15% of RATED THERMAL POWER, prior to reaching 40 EFPD core burnup.

c. At any THERMAL POWER, within +/- 7 EFPD of reaching two-thirds of expected core burnup.(4)

( With Ke,, greater than or equal to 1.0.

(2) See Special Test Exception 3.10.2.

(33 For fuel cycles that meet the applicability requirements given in WCAP-1601 1-P-A, the verification prior to entering MODE I may be made using the predicted MTC as adjusted for the measured boron concentration.

(4) The MTC determination of Paragraph 4.1.1.3.2.c is not required if the results of the tests required in surveillance 4.1.1.3.2.a and 4.1.1.3.2.b are within a tolerance of +/- 0.16 X 10 -4delta k/k/oF from the corresponding design values. For cycles that meet the applicability requirements given in WCAP-16011-P-A, the MTC determination of surveillance 4.1.1.3.2.c is not required if the result of the test required in surveillance 4.1.1.3.2.b is within a tolerance of

+ 0.16 x 10-4 delta k/k/CF from the corresponding design value.
