Yes the first batch of people and Joules (ballet dancer) are what makes this place bearable. Also having a person at the front desk to keep us out of trouble also helps. Its not that bad yet the weather has been nice. And Im sure our pockets will be full when Christmas rolls around.

I am sure they want to beat Oconee and show what they can do up north!

:( Rumors are abounding here about the new Radcon Management. It seems that everyone that used to be in the Radcon chain has been replaced or reassigned. The new supervisor, I heard, just recently got the job, with very little notice. The old supervisor is in QA or something, and it just isn't the same here. Also, the rumors are still going about Union problems with the engineers (no contract, I heard, just a temp agreement, the vote comes up this month), techs being told to decon and unload scaffolding, even though this is a union plant, and people it seems with stopwatches checking on break times. They even took out the chairs from the Containment Access Facility because the new regime's opinion is that people shouldn't sit while doing their job. Last I checked they were back, but that is only one thing fixed for a hundred problems. I don't know about others, but unless some things change, I don't think I will be back.
I never thought I would say this, but I miss Al!! ::)

Sounds like you are in the world of a new manager looking to make a name for himself! Twelve on your feet and not in your seat, is pretty much becoming the way of the industry. I would draw the line with the stop watch! If I found a guy hovering over me with a stop watch, I'd be setting a new record for the WBC! There are just to many jobs out there to deal with the stupid stuff! If they really want to dedicate the time and money, policing you in your hourly duties, save them a couple bucks and bail!
I never heard a bad thing about Praire Island, till this season!

It looks like the NRC and OSHA may be called upon to lend a hand in the fight for better conditions here at PI. Word has it that letters are flying on site to everyone from Safety to Human Resources in an attempt to rectify the hostile work environment that is beginning to exist. And the outage hasn't even started yet! Another little tidbit some may find interesting...the contractor for the RP's here has made it clear that anyone leaving the site because of the existing conditions will be welcome to go to other sites with that same contractor. No black list for leaving this hole if you can't put up with the management anymore. I give it a week and as far as future employment here...I won't be back.
