During the period between July 1 ,1965 and June 30, 1966 the reactor heat generated was 14,117.1 Mwd; and the net electrical power generated was 129,408 Mw-hr. Overall plant behavior was excellent except for some minor difficulties caused by leaking tubes in the evaporators. Operations analysis efforts during this period have been directed mainly toward establishing a core loading pattern which best meets the objectives of the Elk River Reactor, making recommendations concerning proposed changes to the technical specifications, analyzing the operation of the plant energy systems and the thimble cooling system, and studying other problems of particular interest to the Chicago Operations Office of the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission.
