Work
began Monday on a refueling outage at Byron unit 1, bringing in a surge
of temporary workers and beginning one of the most extensive
maintenance efforts at the Illinois reactor in recent years.
Roughly
2,200 temporary workers will join the 850 permanent workers employed at
both units, according to plant owner Exelon. In addition to replacing
1/3 of unit 1's fuel, crews will complete about 14,000 inspections and
maintenance tasks at the reactor. Exelon did not provide an estimate for
when the unit will come back online.http://nuclearstreet.com/nuclear_power_industry_news/b/nuclear_power_news/archive/2012/09/11/byron-1-refueling-begins_2c00_-bringing-in-2_2c00_200-additional-workers-091102.aspx
