OPERATIONAL

SUMMARY

MARCH 1996 BROWNS FERRY 1 4

Unit i remains shutdown on administrative hold to resolve various TVA and NRC concerns.

Unit 1 has been on administrative hold since June 1, 1985.

As a result, TVA considers that accrual of reporting hours is suspended since the unit has a maximum dependable capacity of 0 MWe.

Accordingly, TVA does not consider cumulative reporting period hours for the period beginning June 1, 1985, when calculating the operating status variables.

BROWNS FERRY 2 During the month Unit 2 operated at a capacity factor of 58.5 percent and generated 478,480 megawatt hours gross electrical power.

Unit 2 shutdown at 0200 hours0.00231 days <br />0.0556 hours <br />3.306878e-4 weeks <br />7.61e-5 months <br /> on March 23, 1996 for the 4

cycle 8 refueling outage.

The unit had operated continuously for 214 days.

Unit 2 is scheduled to begin cycle 9 operation on April 20, 1996.

BROWNS FERRY 3 During the month Unit 3 operated at a capacity factor of 90.4 percent and generated 734,140 megawatt hours gross electrical power.

The unit restarted on March 2, 1996 following a February 29, 1996 reactor scram resulting from a failed turbine speed feedback card in the EHC control system.

As of March 31, 1996, Unit 3 has operated continuously for 29 days.
