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 staff's 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 I 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.
