The application for the amendment complies with the standards and

requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act),

and the Commission's rules and regulations. The Commission has made

appropriate findings as required by the Act and the Commission's rules

and regulations in 10 CFR Ch. I, which are set forth in the license
