(1) Maximum Power Level PSEG Nuclear LLC is authorized to operate the facility at a steady state reactor core power level not in excess of 3459 megawatts (one hundred percent of rated core power).

(2) Technical Specifications The Technical Specifications contained in Appendices A and B, as revised through Amendment No.278 are hereby incorporated in the license. The licensee shall operate the facility in accordance with the Technical Specifications.

(3) Deleted Per Amendment 22, 11-20-79 (4) Less than Four Loop Operation PSEG Nuclear LLC shall not operate the reactor at power levels above P-7 (as defined in Table 3.3-1 of Specification 3.3.1.1 of Appendix A to this license) with less than four (4) reactor coolant loops in operation until safety analyses for less than four loop operation have been submitted by the licensees and approval for less than four loop operation at power levels above P-7 has been granted by the Commission by Amendment of this license.

(5) PSEG Nuclear LLC shall implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the approved fire protection program as described in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report, and as approved in the NRC Safety Evaluation Report dated November 20, 1979, and in its supplements, subject to the following provision:

PSEG Nuclear LLC may make changes to the approved fire protection program without prior, approval of the Commission only if those changes would not adversely affect the ability to achieve and maintain safe shutdown in the event of a fire.

POWER DISTRIBUTION LIMITS SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS 4.2.2.1 The provisions of Specification 4.0.4 are not applicable.

4.2.2.2 FxY shall be evaluated to determine if Fo(Z) is within its limit by:

a. Using the movable incore detectors to obtain a power distribution map:

1. When THERMAL POWER is

• 25%, but > 5% of RATED THERMAL POWER, or

2. When the Power Distribution Monitoring System (PDMS) is inoperable; and increasing the Measured FQ(Z) by the applicable manufacturing and measurement uncertainties as specified in the COLR.

b. Using the PDMS or the moveable incore detectors when THERMAL POWER is > 25% of RATED THERMAL POWER, and increasing the measured FQ(Z) by the applicable manufacturing and measurement uncertainties as specified in the COLR.

c. Comparing the FxY computed (Fxyc) obtained in b, above to:

1. The FY limits for RATED THERMAL POWER (FXyRTP) for the appropriate measured core planes given in e and f below, and

2. The relationship:

L =FxyRTP [I+PFy (l-P)i where FYL is the limit for fractional THERMAL POWER operation expressed as a function of FXyR1 PFy is the power factor multiplier for Fy in the COLR, and P is the fraction of RATED THERMAL POWER at which Fxy was measured.

d. Remeasuring FY according to the following schedule:

1. When Fxyc is greater than the FXyRTP limit for the appropriate measured core plane but less than the FxyL relationship, additional core power distribution measurements shall be taken and Fxyc compared to FxyRTP and FxyL :

a) Either within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> after exceeding by 20% of RATED THERMAL POWER or greater, the THERMAL POWER at which Fyc was last determined, or SALEM - UNIT 1 3/4 2-6 Amendment No. 278
