The ORR operated at an average power level of 29.0 MW for 80.9% of the time during October, November, and December of 1978. The reactor was shut down on fourteen occasions, four of which were unscheduled. Reactor downtime needed for refueling, maintenance and checks was normal, with the reactor remaining available for operation 92.2% of the time. Maintenance activities, both mechanical and instrument, were essentially routine in nature.

The ORR operated at an average power level of 29.8 MW for 29.6% of the time during October, November, and December of 1977. Ten new fuel elements were placed in service. Two shim-rod elements were retired from service at an average burnup of 71.2%. The reactor was shut down on seven occasions, none of which were unscheduled. Reactor downtime needed for refueling, maintenance and checks was quite low, with the reactor remaining available for operation 88.2% of the time. Maintenance activities, both mechanical and instrument were essentially routine in nature. In-service inspections completed during the quarter included inspection of the ORR decay tank and the ORR pool heat exchanger.

The ORR operated at an average power level of 29.3 Mw for 20.1% of the time during October, November, and December of 1976. The operating time is low due to the reduction of operating time to a level compatible with funding. Six fuel elements were declared spent (57.6% burnup) during the quarter, while no new elements were placed in service. The reactor was shut down on seven occasions, one of which was unscheduled. Reactor downtime needed for refueling, maintenance and checks was quite low, with the reactor remaining available for operation 92.0% of the time. Maintenance activities, both mechanical and instrument, were essentially routine in nature.
