In accordance with Point Beach Nuclear Plant (PBNP) Technical Specifications 5.6.3, Enclosure 1 contains the Monthly Operating Report for August 2004 for PBNP, Units 1 and 2.

In Reference 1, the number of reactor critical hours was incorrectly reported. This error was generated due to discrepancies in the definition of what constitutes the unit shutdown time for calculating the number of hours the reactor was critical. This discrepancy added 0.2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> to the number of Unit 1 reactor critical hours for April 2004 and subsequent year to date reactor critical hours.

Enclosure 2 contains the revised Operating Data Reports showing the correct number of hours the reactor was critical for the months of April through July. This error was discovered prior to generation of the August 2004 Monthly Operating Report. This error does not affect the Unit 2 Operating Data Reports.

This letter contains no new commitments and no revisions to existing commitments.
