Good morning all,,,,I'm back...lol

 

 

Good Morning Nebraska! Good morning to you Phil!

 

Morning Pat,,,,how goes it?

 

Pretty good Phil. Just busy again. I'll be busy til I go on nights on the 21st. How are you doing?

 

I'm ok,,,,might just get my truck today,,,,,maybe...lol

Your going back on nights?

 

Yep. We shut down on the 19th to refuel. I'll be on nights til Memorial day weekend. So much for enjoying that holiday!

 

Awww man,,,that sucks!!!

At least I'll have someone to talk to when I cant sleep...lol

 

Yep, I'll be here from six til at least 4:30 in the morning, although I'm gonna try and work at least 12 hours if I can get away with it! Luckily, we only have to do this every 18 months, unless we have a forced shutdown like we did a few weeks ago. Those are pretty rare, though.

 

Oh,,ok,,so it's a scheduled thing then?

 

Yep. We refuel the reactor every 18 months. We don't replace all of the fuel, about half of it, then burn up some of the older fuel bundles. Plus, we fix everything in the contaiment building that can't be done online.

 

Sounds like fun














































NOT!!! lol
