2Q/08: Beginning in the 2nd quarter 2008, the data reported reflects a lack of historical operational data needed to maintain the adequate degree of accuracy required by this PI. Until further notice, MSPI performance threshold crossings will be assessed by the NRC Unit 1 augmented baseline inspection plan.

2Q/07: Unit 1 was restarted on 5/22/07. Per NRC's 5/16/07 letter to TVA on Unit 1 full transition to the Reactor Oversight Process (ADAMS accession ML0713603010), the PI data for the BF1 IE, MS, and BI cornerstones should be submitted, according to IMC 0608 and industry guidance, commencing with the third quarter of CY 2007.
