Duct Tape used at Site

I'm trying to make a list for work of which color duct tape each site likes to use. (Ex. Browns Ferry told us we could use onlyyellow)

most sites don't allow silver, grey or black on the refuel floor for obvious reasons. alot of them use red or yellow then.

We use red at Sequoyah for the most part, a little blue but definitely no where near the fuel floor though.
I used to be a lifeguard until some blue kid got me fired.

Years ago Cook used the silver stuff. Now almost exclusively red. We still see the occasional silver turn up, but it's the exception.
Things come to those who wait, but usually it's stuff left over from those who hustle!

Just wondering...

Are you folks talking about for professional use, for entertainment, or both?

I have too many visuals of the old days...back when...never mind!

The above has nothing to do with any real  or imagined person(s).  Moreover, any referenced biped(s) simulating real or imagined persons--with a pulse or not--is coincidental, as far as you know.

Watts Bar had tons of "red tape" hidden away, cause the RPM hated it. That RPM left for the "Ferry", and now Watts Bar has "Red Duct Tape" everywhere. It's even on the Xerox machine holding it together! 8)

There's quite an array of colors available and some have a definitive application.

For the Nukes, low chlorides is the requirement.  Not sure of the available colors in nuclear grade, but the inner paper core will have the word, "NUCLEAR" repeatly printed on it.  I've hear Yellow, White and Green is on that list, but that's not verifed. In any case check the inner paper core and the manufacturer. 

Why the color variations?  TO BLEND! 

The RPM at Watts Bar may have seemed somewhat rediculous on the issue, but if you want to identify a problem in a nuclear facility, slap something RED on it!  Besides a standard color code for fire protection systems, equipment position indicators and Warning tags, RED should be used very sparingly!  Since duct tape seems to be used so widely for temporary repairs, RED tape would be an invitation for a regulators attention!  To much RED could possibly make the work force calis to the color and that could possibly set the course for a regulatory issue.

You need to be careful when dealing with duct tape in a nuclear power plant.  Dale and I used the red kind when making the "wheel of 40's" at Grand Gulf and nearly got charged with nuclear plant sabotage. (REALLY!)
