Subject: Powernet: BWR - Unlatching control rods from under-vessel

The Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant outage planning team is considering unlatching 
control rods from the drywell under-vessel instead of from the refuel floor 
during next outage.  Does anyone have an analysis of the additional dose cost 
and /or schedule savings for undervessel  control rod unlatching compared to 
the refuel floor when considering the higher dose rates, and the dose accrued 
to remove/replace the extra shoot-out steel, etc?

Please cc Rick Schmehl on the replies for this post as he is drafting the 
preplan for this
