wlrun3@aol.com:

   ...do any other utilities besides exelon work 7 12s...is there a reason...

   ...what is the status of the upcoming restriction on hours worked...how will it be managed...

Mike McFarlin:
Many companies do, as needed.

wlrun3@aol.com:

   ...in my experience, going beyond 72 hours, though not rare, is something out of the ordinary and requires relatively high level approval...at exelon plants 84 hours is almost an expectation...

SloGlo:
wattinell iza purpose of going to a 4 week outage iffen ya ain't dune 84s?

Len61:
We (BFN OPS) used to work 7-12, NRC pretty much told us no blanket waivers even for outages. We now work 6-12's for refueling outages. That's OK on dayshift, makes night shift a little harder if you want to stay up and see the family on your day off. We are nearing the end of a 40+ day power uprate outage on U2, and approaching startup of U1, needless to say it is very challenging!
