• Hope Creek began the month in planned outage to identify and repair drywell leakage.

• The unit was placed back on-line on April 10, reaching 100% power on April 13.

• On April 14, power was reduced to approximately 78.5% in response to grass buildup at the Service Water intake structure. The unit returned to 100% power on April 15 and operated for the remainder of the month without experiencing another power change that exceeded 20% of reactor power.

• At the end of the month, Hope Creek completed 20 days of continuous on-line operation.
