Streamlining the refuel floor.

(1/2) > >>

bhatton:
We are in the process of updating and making the refuel floor here at Brunswick more user friendly and "tidy". If anyone has been to or has an idea of how to handle the storing of all the tools, rigging, misc. equipment, computer stations, and controll points, please let me know. Which utility has the best refuel floor setup in the business?

duke99301:
the best would depend on whom you talk to. ;D
as for what I have seen humm. most of them are pretty good and the worst is the ones I do not go back to, as with that good luck :-*

SloGlo:
go ask jjordan.

There are CAD programs to help you manage lay down area. If you don't spring for that then it has  been accomplished with mechanical drawings and overlays of reactor disassembly components and the required space. Obviously, ask the people doing the work for suggestions and ask the vendors helping you with your outages for 'best-practices' they've seen. Who is currently running the refuel floor, a vendor or in-house?

The general rule of thumb for control points and equipment is to keep it as portable as possible: it's a lot easier moving a dressout area than herculite covered components. And make sure you bounce it off the outage schedule and conduct a couple of table-top walkthroughs with the major players involved. The floor is usually critical path and a snafu over space at a critical juncture makes everyone look foolish and will get you a quick audience with the outage manager. Spend the time up front talking and walking through it. And make sure and include those rascally RP's since they're a pretty observant bunch.  Good luck. ;D

I would check with similar plants. Some may have huge floors and some tiny. Each is custom made to fit their design. Hope Creek had a seavan on the floor for tools and a clear plastic tent made for the control point with many cameras and electronic dosimetry. 856-339-3741 and talk to some of the techs and supervisors. Ed Gee, Steve Spiese, Tom Wallender all come to mind.
