Morning Rob, Allen! Don, installed the last fuel bundle last night. Should be able to put the head on the reactor this weekend, and then, hopefully, in a few weeks, with the NRC's blessing, get back online.

We've been down since April 2011. We shut down there, for our normal 18 month refueling outage. But, we had the floods on the Missouri, then a fire, then the NRC climbed up our butts with a microscope, and discovered just how bad our management and engineering dept had let things get around here.

Morning Allen and Rob.

Don, work is for people who can't fish... or have run out of vacation time.

No offense Pat... but that's not very reassuring! I'm glad we are upwind from Nebraska.

Looks like I'm doomed then....... I haven't had even one of my boats in the water much less fished in the last 4 years, and work for myself, so no vacation time........

I guess I'd better get my butt to work...

We've completely replaced out management, and the NRC has been onsite in force for the last year, making sure EVERYTHING is where it should be. We'll be under the microscope for a while after we start up. Should be one of the safest plants in the country after this!

Heck, I'd be more worried about Hanford, Washington, if I was you guys!!

I worked up at Hanford for 5 years, and that place scares the hell out of me!

Just glad I'm upwind of it..........
