          2440 MWT to 2630 MWT; in 1989, a second increase to 2770 MWT was            
          authorized.                                                                 
               Changes with respect to the plant, including changes related           
          to fuel assemblies, were submitted by petitioner to the NRC and,            
          if considered safe, the changes were approved through the                   
          issuance of an amendment to the operating license.  Petitioner’s            
          application for amendment to the operating license for Cycle 12             
          was submitted to the NRC and dated January 16, 1990.  In response           
          to petitioner’s application, Amendment No. 116 to the operating             
          license was issued by the NRC on May 17, 1990.  Amendment No. 116

                    A.  The application for amendment filed by Maine                  
                         Yankee Atomic Power Company [petitioner] (the

                         Act), and the Commission’s rules and                         
                         regulations set forth in 10 CFR Chapter I;                   
                              *    *    *    *    *    *    *                         
                    C.  There is reasonable assurance:  (i) that                      
                         the activities authorized by this                            
                         amendment can be conducted without                           
                         endangering the health and safety of the

                         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; * * *
