Well dang, Mike! Nothing like shutting down the contest with the first entry. The best I can do is a tie - Quad Cities - 1983 and 2009.

Hmmm I worked at DC Cook in 1989, but it was non outage, and then again in 2009 for an outage. 20 years.

That is how I originally interpreted the question until I read the originator's post. I was pretty sure that a Candu reactor would hold the record due to the unique method of refueling.

Surry, worked there in 1980 and returned in 2010. 30 years.

Worked Oyster Creek last time in 1977 and just finished their outage 2010
33 years apart, same drywell control point but had a much better time this outage.

Hmmmmm... Peach Bottom - left October 1979 (after three years of continuous service) then returned September 2009 for an outage. About 30 years I guess....and no discernable difference.

You people are OLD,...
I was in high school in 1974 and 1976,....
And when I started my sophomore year of college I was still 17,...
You guys were sponging 1800mr/yr before my spermatocytes went on active duty :P ;) :) 8)
1800?
In 1978 I got over 6,000! (IP2 to Pilgrim to IP2 and back to Pilgrim.)

1.8 Rem/yr. Come on we are talking a different age - my worst was about 7.2 (but, you probably don't remember 5N-18) when you were still in HS! But, it wasn't sponging, it was a totally different mind set and different application of ALARA!
Today I see, total dose suffers in deference to keeping individual dose less than the coming regulation.

As S/G control point put a worker into the S/G 31st March for 2.8 Rem. Next day he was back (April 1st - new quarter) and we sent him in for another 2.8 Rem.
To keep it semi on topic - Millstone 1980 then back in 2000 for the Decommissioning Unit 1

We did that once at a plant I will not name but it was October 31st - November 1st and since it was night shift he didn't even need to go home between jumps. He (actually two guys) got about 5.5 Rem in one shift. I am glad we don't get to do that anymore.
