4 Unit 1 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 4

accrual of reporting hours is suspended since the unit has a maximum dependable capacity of zero 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 For the month of March, Unit 2 generated 815,730 megawatt hours 3j-gross electrical power and operated at a net capacity factor of l'

100.7 percent.

As of March 31, 1597, Unit 2 has operated continuously for 149 days.
