Book Description
The ORR operated at an average power level of 27.8 MW for 72.6% of the time during April, May, and June of 1978. The reactor was shut down on fifteen occasions, two of which were unscheduled. Reactor downtime needed for refueling, maintenance and checks was higher than normal due to beam-hole-plug maintenance, with the reactor remaining available for operation 82.4% of the time. Maintenance activities, both mechanical and instrument, were essentially routine in nature. Special tests or measurements completed during the quarter included gamma flux (heating) measurements made in core positions E-7, E-5, E-3, and C-7 using lattice configurations as indicated in figure Nos. 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.
