Robinson Nuclear Plant recently implemented a two-year fuel cycle and as such 
will now be able to enjoy each refueling outage in the fall when it is 
typically very hot here in the deep south.  Last outage we were challenged with 
stay times as short as 15-30 minutes.  I would like to know if your site has 
found ways to effectively manage heat stress which we may be able to implement 
here.

Specifically has your site:

Provided Large Scale Cooling for Containment?  If so, how large was your 
cooling unit? What areas did you attempt to cool?  Please describe flow path or 
call me. (We ineffectively used a 130 ton unit this past outage)

Successfully utilized cool tents?  For what work groups, locations? (We have 
one that is effectively used on Refuel floor)

Implemented any Engineering changes (Containment Coolers chilled by Deep Well 
Water or some other source)?  If so, please provide details.

Successfully utilized personal cooling systems/suits?  If so, what brand, type? 
 How much do they cost?  Who launders/cleans?  For how many? What work groups?

Any other ideas that would help would also be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
