f Energy Production and Fuel Burn-up o,
The Berkeley Research Reactor produced 138,521 kW-hours or 5.77 MW-days of energy during 1984 As there were 161 operating days in 1984, this cor-t responds to an average daily energy production of 860 kW-hours per operating l
day.
In 1984, the Berkeley Research Reactor was critical approximately 205 hours0.00237 days <br />0.0569 hours <br />3.38955e-4 weeks <br />7.80025e-5 months <br /> and was operated at full power (1 MW) fc approximately,126 hours0.00146 days <br />0.035 hours <br />2.083333e-4 weeks <br />4.7943e-5 months <br />.
The total burn-up in 1984 was 6.2 grams elemental and 7.2 grams of isotope U-235.
T The total cumulative encigy production since initial criticality is, approximately 272.1 MW-days.
t a-Nuclear Regulatory Commission Inspection Inspections of the Berkeley Research Reactor operations and safety were performed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Region V off3cc in Decem-ber of 1984. No items of noncompliance to the Technical Specifications and Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulations were found during the ins,Tctions.
