NRC limits workers to 48 hrs/wk
Already Gone:
Remember, this is a news story. That means that they only have enough facts to be dangerously wrong.
The 48 hour limit only applies to security guards. They get exceptions for everyone else during outages. Plus they get to do workgroup averaging. So, there will still be overtime. We've discussed this on other threads.

Management will not (does not) like this because more people will need to be hired, thus reducing profit. Our union bretherin will like this because more people will be hired, thus more union workers. The union locals will ensure proper staffing levels.
Non-union work places (like where I work) will drag their feet on any new hires until forced to by the NRC.
I just wish more operators at the non-union stations would see the benefits of a union organization. In my humble opinion, this issue would never have happened if more stations were organized.

BS. It wouldn't matter. The guy who originally raised this issue on the Ops end was an SRO who is Non Union.
The staffing between Union and Non Union Plants is virtually identical, it's based on your Tech Specs and Appendix R Committments, not your Union Contract.

axecoose me, but aren't rules and rule changes applicable to licensees? contractors are exempt from licensee rules, aren't they? sro, ro, licensee rp personnel are all included, contractors aren't.

I don't think that's right. I'm at a plant now where they are pushing us to stick to the 72 hour rule.
Personally, when on night shift the only thing a day or two off does is screw up my sleep schedule even worse.
I get used to it after about 3 nights and am fine until I have a night off. Then I have to start over.
I think it'd make more sense to limit workdays to 12 hours but not mess with the consecutive days worked.
