Operations Summary AUGUST, 1981 The following summary describes the significant operational activities for the month of August. In support of this summary, a chronological log of significant events is included in this report.

Unit 1 Uni". I was critical for 496.6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />, produced 501,970 MWH (gross) with 4.98 percent station use, resulting in an average hourly gross load of 1,038,845 KW during the month. The net heat rate for the month was 11,100 BTU /KWH.

There are 237.6 full power days estimated remaining until the end of cycle 1 fuel. With a capacity factor of 85 percent the target EOC exposure would be reached June 6, 1982. The capacity factor for the month was S7.0 percent.

There was one reactor scram, one manual shutdown, and three power reductions during August.

Unit 2 Preoperational and pre-criticality testing continued during the month.
