Outage Slogan

[LaFeet]

I think we all need those T shirts... and the best ones have great slogans.

For CC unit 1 outage 18..."Its a good day to body count"

Whats yours ??

[starving_dog]

After the TSP trouble y'all had at the Cliffs how about:

Grinding out another one at the Cliffs.

Anyone who was there for the Unit 1 SGRO would appreciate that one.

[Atomic_Punk]

T-shirt Front:
"Overstaffed and Overpaid and it's all over in 60 days!"
Back:
NOT!

Palo Verde Unit 1 '92

I like it.  I would love to hear others, then we will vote on the best.  Then I'll make them!

[nukedog]

At BFN it is "we are aggressively deconning the plant- One shower at a time"

[USMCRADCON]

My all-time favorite was:

"Playing Hide and Seek for a grand a week"

Needless to say, this was quickly banned from use while on premesis at PeCo back in the 80's

[Roll Tide]

Quality work's last

[RadTrashMan]

"Striving for a Work Free Safe zone"

[Stina B]

The one we use here is " Get R Done"

[Gonzo]

I like it.  I would love to hear others, then we will vote on the best.  Then I'll make them!

i can't believe this has been left to drop..   here's an opportunity to resurrect some classics!!

i remember one i saw (can't remember from where) and while the artwork would present some copyright infringements the slogan was perfect  "When you're hot, you're hot!"

[RADBASTARD]

How about

GIT R DONE then DFR

[Gonzo]

i guess you could never duplicate it..   it was very site and event specific..  but i gotta believe the greatest teeshirt of all time was the St Paddy's day shirt, U2 Palo Verde back I guess in the late 80s or early 90s...   The feds are probably still looking for the culprit or culprits who inspired that shirt...

[owsi84621]

Here's one from Crystal River on the occasion of the head change out in '03,
a picture of the headless horseman and it read "23 head job"...

[oldodge52]

I was with LaFeet, hamsammich, RadBastard at CC last outage with the TSP fiasco.... How about "Chaos equals cash"
I also like LaFeet's: It's a good day to body count.
One of my personal favorites: got dose?

[Mike McFarlin]

Hurry to Surry where the HOGS are beautiful.

[SloGlo]

Here's one from Crystal River on the occasion of the head change out in '03,

da beav  had one a decade ago err sew that had the twin domes sited behind the two cooling towers 'n in front of a hill.  simple site text, but at a quick look, it appeared to be a nude woman on her back.  i can't remember iffen there was a site ban, as da ex banned it after one of the daughters wanted to know who da naked lady wuz on daddy's shirt.   

what plant had da "magenta and red means butter and bread"?

[Gonzo]

a few years ago at the Columbia they had an outage mascot (i guess) they used for all the safety/production posters...   they used Builder Bob, changed his tool belt a bit and renamed him....  what they probably should've imagined is the fun the contractors would have since you could pick up one of these things anywhere...   someone did and we took it to a beer night at jackson's in richland...   i still have some photos somewhere...   

[Roll Tide]

Would lame official outage slogans be a separate thread?

"Shootin for the final Four" was probably pretty clever for someone's March (Madness) outage. For the outage scheduled between Thanksgiving and Christmas, I would have preferred

"How many turkeys can you have in one year?"
or perhaps a BCS tie-in.

[SloGlo]

my all time fav is still da one from da peach ina 70s;  one color (black), white mushroom cloud; text wuz "aw sh__!" 
banned, 'n never reproduced.   

[Brett LaVigne]

"First time every time"

[cbramsey]

I never saw this on a t-shirt, but when I was at South Texas in fall 93 - winter 94, there was a saying we had on the MOVATS crew:

"Uncertainty leads to income, confusion leads to profit!!!!"

It was a very profitable year!!!!!!!!!!!!!   

[guppy]

Early '80s, Surry - B.O.H.I.C.A.  (bend over, here it comes again)

sometime after April 1979, TMI - "We stayed and saved your a**!"

Late '90s Pilgrim - "Snow Foolin'" (after the April Fool's Day snow of 18 inches)

Numerous places and times - "Nuclear Jack" (Panama Jack with a respirator on)

Can't remember where - "A little Nukie never hurt anyone".  I think it was made by the Massachusetts Voice of Energy.

Early '80s Surry - "Respirator Refueling"

There are many more, it would be nice to hear about more of the oldies but goodies.

[LaFeet]

Ft Calhou... just this fall


"Got Pressurizer, Steam Generators, Reactor head...."

[fritzon]

Diablo's was the nice lady on her back, with "What a Pair!" as the slogan..  Banned 1st day I wore it to P.Verde..  or the Tres Amigos, which wasn't a term of endearment.  Also, Louis came up with Tuxedo T's with "Your trash is our cash" for the rad waste group...

[Atomic Frog]

How about this one, early 90's at Davis-Besse.

Calvert still needs one for  "ARE WE DIVING YET ??"  for the 2006 outage

Got the Tee Shirt all printed up and stuff, just gotta send one to the boys there

[Mike McFarlin]

If you have an issue then get a tissue!

[RAD-GHOST]

One of my all time favorites, which was immediately banned at every site it materialized at!

[shehane]

I haven't seen as many as some of you guys, but here are some of the ones I remember.

Grand Goof, Mississippi's Nuclear Circus (Grand Gulf obviously) This one was banned one hour after it showed up on site.  Ned sold out before the ban.
Disney on the Delaware (Salem)
tee shirt with a good drawing of someone dropping a knife in the cavity (Arkansas)
Grand Gulf had a cool one for a Holloween outage that glowed in the dark
many more that Ned Volstedt did.

I turned in a suggestion, after a 90 day outage that was scheduled for 39 days, for a hat the next outage.  It would say "Do it right the Second time".  They said I lacked professionalism!  Dale Wiesner and I had many more ideas that never hit the presses.

[Mike_Koehler]

As seen at SONGS in the very early 90's: "ALARA..... As Long As Rooms Available" Showing an exploding containment due to the large #'s of techs being pushed in to the equipment hatch with a bulldozer driven by the RPM. Wearing it was grounds for instant termination. ("Go see Frank")

Mike

[Shawnee Man]

Outage slogan for Kewaunee KR-29 was "Touch It Once. Touch It Right!!!!!


When the word got out how everyone really liked it, they took it off the printing presses. After there was a low turnout for orders, they again offered them with the above slogan and also offered ones without any slogan.

Ah yes...I remember it well. The craft's managers decided that it "didn't look good" to have people milling about at the beginning of shift and after lunch, so they made every single worker enter containment and THEN have the morning meeting/pre-job.

The plant RP department put a pretty quick stop to the whole mess. As for the one contractor who bravely(foolishly) wore the shirt in and told all that "No one can tell me what I can or can't wear"....well, he got his GSF and went bye bye immediately.

It was more than 1......This was the "it sucks to be named Mike outage" We started on night shift with 8 Mikes and by the midpoint of the outage there were only 2 left.....Some departed for doing crosswords...... some "crashed" security doors........One got popped for the shirt (there were 2 T-shirt DFR's)......

[diparyar]

what about the '88-90 surry outages tee's no clue, captn' cluless, and the fryin pan.

and the banned before it made it to site at the 10yr. ISI @ HBR with all of the outage slogan's/sayings on the back, McCready's Law, respirators maybe? and others, and the beta bugs and fuel pool flooding over with the green goo on the front?

[retired nuke]

I actually suggested this one, but it got turned down...

"Whiskey and Hookers for Everyone!!" - to be printed over a chrome image of the Peterbilt Girl (that profile you see on truck mudflaps)

Oh well....

Nice.  Consistent! 

OPPD's CNO liked SONGS so much he now runs the place.  Been there 2 years, got the big ship turning.

[darkmatter]

I can't believe y'all left out the one: " you can't hold a candle to Browns Ferry"

My favorite one was from Wolf Creek with a T-shirt wizard of oz theme--- on the front it had Dorthy, the Tin man, Scarecrow and Lion in a Pickup truck coming to The Dome on the Range. On the back of the shirt it had the Pickup leaving Wolf Creek with Dorthy in the bed mooning the site as they're departing with one of the characters flipping the bird out the window and wads of cash flying out the windows.

[milo124]

I really liked a Dresden shirt I saw while on the road.  I'm not sure of the phrase ("Welcome to Dresneyland" I think), but I remember the picture of Mickey welcoming you at the personnel hatch.

Also, for you old timers (a little off topic)
ARC - Aunts, Relatives  & Cousins
IRM - Institute for Rubber Money

I remember seeing a classmate in junior high school wearing what, in hindsight, had to be an outage tee from Wolf Creek, and I've always remembered the saying:  "A little nuke never hurt anybody."

[Smart People]

Brunswick's forced outage in 92. "I've tripped and I can't get back up!" banned

St. Lucie had some great ones: the operator feeding a three eyed fish amertap balls. I was told not to wear it at Hatch because someone said it was anti-nuke.

Another plant's manager was named Barney. So, here's Homer Simpson asleep in the control room. Barney Fife, Barney Rubble, and Barney the dinosaur are peeking around the corner withe the slogan "Somebody's watching you!"

[JustinHEMI05]

This might not be that funny, but I thought it was.

A couple of years ago Peach Bottom had one that was "We're going to leave a mark."

The image was of a big white tail buck in the cross hairs of a rifle.

I just though, "ah, so we are going to leave a mark by killing local wildlife." Wasn't sure it was the right image for a nuclear outage.

[vikingfan]

back in the early 90's Calaway had a shirt that said " duck bill outage "  If I remember correctly that was when they said we didn't have to wear full face resp. for disasembly and cavity work, we could use a glorified painters mask. we chose to still wear full face though.

[walstib]

Pennsylvania had a syndicated afternoon TV show called dialing for dollars.  This was renamed on a shirt as "Frying for Dollars", it had a big skillet on the front with all the craft trades sizzling out of the skillet.

also, "we didn't die at TMI, we got soused at the Railway House" - local drinking tavern.

For ARC - Another Rubber Check

No, in all fairness they or at  least them, started stating the 6 year time frame in 2008.  Shooting for a 2014 ending.
