The plant operated at full power for about half the month of January. Two test outages accounted for the remaining time, during which MOTA-1F, FSP-1, PO-4 and PO-5 were removed from the reactor. One automatic scram occurred while adjusting nuclear instruments at 15% power. Most performance indicators reflect excellent FFTF operation in spite of staff shortages and high workloads. No lost work day injuries occurred in January, and none have occurred for twelve straight months. Slight rises in maintenance backlog indicators reinforce the need for continued concentrated effort to keep backlogs within parameters that compare favorably with the best commercial nuclear plants.
