The plant was started up for the P11A-1 Operating Cycle on May 3, 1989, one and one half days late due to problems with the D-14 ZTO motor generator. The plant was shut down May 16 to install the Multi-Isotope Production (MIP) experiment cluster. The subsequent startup on May 21 for the P11A-2 Operating Cycle went very well. In general, Overall Performance Indicators showed excellent plant performance. There were no unplanned automatic scrams, forced outages, unusual occurrence reports or recordable injuries. The corrective maintenance backlog greater than three months old increased slightly during May due to a decrease in the total number of corrective maintenance items and the concentration of Engineering resources needed to support timely insertion of the Fusion MOTA in the reactor. Among the Other Performance Indicators, FFTF direct staffing and total Operations staffing have increased slightly, bringing them closer to authorized staffing levels. The protective maintenance backlog recovered from last month`s increase, dropping to a post-outage record low of 1.20%. By month`s end, the value was reduced further to 1.15% (goal <1.2%). All other indicators are satisfactory.
