DearMr.Boyle:

Thisletterandtheenclosures constitute theannualreportrequiredbytheRINSCTechnical Specifications (Section6.7.1).Enclosure 1providesreactoroperating statistics.

Enclosure 2providesinformation pertaining tounscheduled reactorshutdowns orscrams.Enclosure 3discusses maintenance operations performed duringthereporting period.Enclosure 4describes changestothefacilitycarriedoutundertheconditions ofSection50.59ofChapter10oftheCodeofFederalRegulations.

Lastly,Enclosure 5summarizes theradiological controlsinformation.

Ifthereareanyquestions regarding thisinformation, pleasecallmeat401-874-9442.
