An extended shutdown to replace part of the beryllium reflector reduced the operating time for the quarter to 88 percent and the operating time for the year to 92.9 percent.

Despite four end-of-cycle shutdowns during the reporting period, the reactor operated 95.6 percent of the time. This increased the on-stream time for the year to 95.3 percent. A test of the reactor bay in-leakage determined that an exhaust flow rate of 3,050 cfm is required to maintain a vacuum of 0.1 in. of water in this area.
