The plant operated at full power until May 6 when it was shut down for a planned outage for refueling and maintenance. The success of outage activity placed it slightly ahead of the 37-day outage schedule at month`s end. Operational efficiency in May was again 100%. The plant has operated over 110 effective full power days this year through Cycle 10A. As a result, the plant remains on target for meeting the 96% Operational Efficiency Factor and 70% Capacity Factor goals for 1988. Focus on outage activity resulted in little progress on further reduction of maintenance backlogs. An unfavorable trend was experienced in spare parts availability and a slight increase in overdue commitments. Otherwise, there were no significant trends apparent in May.
