This Application/Declaration is hereby amended as follows:
Item 1 - Description of Proposed Transactions
1. Paragraph 1 is amended by replacing the words "Yankee Atomic Electric
Company" with "Yankee Atomic Electric Company, acting through its Nuclear
Services Division."
2. Paragraph 3 is amended by adding the following sentences after the
second sentence therein:
The Agreement does not limit the types of knowledge, expertise or
equipment which one operator may make available to another. Each
Operator has expertise and facilities across a wide range of nuclear-
related activity, and the parties feel it is preferable that the
Agreement be as flexible as possible to encourage a wide variety of
sharing arrangements.
3. Paragraph 8 is renumbered as paragraph 9, and a new paragraph 8 is
added as follows:
8. The Operators estimate that each nuclear unit subject to the
Agreement will initially receive on average 3% of its labor and
equipment (about $1.5 million) each year from other plants participating
in the Agreement, with a variation of from 1% (about $500,000) in a non-
refueling year to 5% (about $2.5 million) in a refueling year. In this
estimate, CY, Seabrook and Yankee-Rowe each count as one plant and
Millstone as three plants. The bulk of these costs would be labor.
With the exception of Yankee-Rowe, which is being dismantled, these
plants refuel every 18 to 24 months. In the future this level of
support is likely to increase as reengineering of the NU System's
nuclear operations progresses and the companies pursue cost savings
through consolidation of expertise. Each plant presently expects to
provide approximately as much labor and equipment as it receives from
the other plants under this arrangement.
4. The following is added as new paragraph 10, and paragraphs 9, 10 and 11
are renumbered as paragraph 11, 12 and 13, respectively:
10. The Applicants consent to the expiration of the Commission's
authorization of the transactions described herein on December 31, 1998.
