MONTHLY OPERATING REPORT AUGUST 1998 UNIT 1 DOCKET NUMBER 50-259 LICENSE NUMBER DPR-33 UNIT 2 DOCKET NUMBER 50-260 LICENSE NUMBER DPR-52 UNIT 3 DOCKET NUMBER 50-296 LICENSE NUMBER DPR-68

e OPERATIONAL

SUMMARY

AUGUST 1998 BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT UNIT 1 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 accrual of reporting hours is suspended since the unit has a maximum dependable capacity of zero MWe. Accordingly, TVA does not consider reporting cumulative hours for the period beginning June 1, 1985, when calculating the operating status variables.

I t

BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT UNIT 2 For the month of August, Unit 2 generated 794,960 megawatt hours gross electrical power and operated at a net capacity factor of 97.9 percent. As of August 31, 1998, Unit 2 has operated continuously for 305 days.

BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT UNIT 3 For the month of August, Unit 3 generated 673,680 megawatt hours gross electrical power with a net capacity factor of 82.5 percent. On July 21, 1998, at 23:59 hours, the unit began coastdown for the Cycle 8 refueling outage. As of August 31, 1998, Unit 3 has operated continuously for 134 days.
