7 INDT RODUCTION This yeport discusses the radioactive discharges from Unit 1 of Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant during the first six months of calendar year 1977. The format presented in Section 5.4.lB of " Appendix B Technical Specifications" for the above-mentioned unit, is fcilowed.

On December 23, 1976, a few days prior to this reoorting ceriod, the Unit was shutdown for its first refueling.

The unit was brought back to power on February 23, 1977 and it was niaced in a power ascension program until April 1, 1977.

From April 1,1977 to the end of this reporting period, the Unit was operated to meet the system load requirements. The liquid and gaseous discharges , during the first and second quarters of this reporting period remained within one percent of their respective Technical Specification limits. The doses to individuals and the population in general within a 60 mile radius of the plant, remained well within the limits of 10 CFR Part 50. -

. ~ V. Conclusions During the first two quarters of the calendar year 1977, Unit 1 generated 2,022,170 MWH Gross of electrical energy.- The operating record for this period indicates that the Unit was operating 68.8% of the time at an average capacity factor of 42%. This relatively low capacity factor resulted from a fuel conservation program to meet system requirements. This report  ! indicates that all radioactive effluents released from this  ; Unit remained within one percent of their technical specification i limits. Further, the radiological consequences to the general populace from these releases were well within the limits of i 10 CFR Part 50. Based on this report and similar reports in the l past, it is concluded that the Unit performed without causing any l significant hazard to the health and safety of the public and the environment at large during the first two and a half years of its operation. This further assures that Unit 1, and Unit 2 ' when in operation, can be operated as designed, with minimal hazard to health and safety of the general public. 1578 149 m 4
