ANO (Arkansas Nuclear One)
spentfuel:
The "Bigge" crane is used as implied to handle the excess weight that most in plant cranes can not. I assume this setup was also used recently at one of the Duke plants for a similar job without issue. They have also used these cranes for most SGRP's that I am aware of without incident with the exception of I thought I head something about a SG being dropped outside the equipment hatch at Salem (I think).
Point being these people are very experienced with heavy lifts so I would expect some type of equipment failure is associated.
certainly a tragedy

Is this the appropriate place to ask a question? Hope so!
I'm currently working toward my BS in Chemistry (eventually MS...just taking a while to get there) because ANO is where I want to work. Is this the right degree path? The advisors at UALR weren't very helpful, kinda looked at me like I was mad when I explained what I wanted.
Obviously, potential employment is a ways down the road, I just want to make sure I'm at least headed the right way.
Thanks so much!!

Seems like a point-by-point on how not to accomplish a major evolution. Bottom line appears to be that this tragedy was 100% avoidable, which is probably what the vast majority of us had already decided on our own.
OSHA still conducting their investigation.

Chemist, I have been in the industry for 30 years and I can tell you a MS in Chemistry will wasted money. What I would do is after the BS I would look for something in Management

Hey ANO, come out and show these guys some love... if you haven't heard, 2 Marine Veteran's walking across America from Camp Pendleton, CA to the Marine Barracks in D.C. to promote the Wounded Warrior Project... pushing thru Clarksville on their way towards you... :)
