OneNuke Equipment Clearance Order (ECO) Application Request

OneNuke Plant Operations Department has requested major enhancements to the ECO application: –Regulator Changes. –Tag Sharing. –Print directly on tags. OneNuke

Regulatory Change –Recent changes to the "Standard Interpretations" from U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) for tracking of individual workers beyond what was originally considered in 29 CFR OneNuke

Tag Sharing: –The Institute of Nuclear Power Operators (INPO) has recognized the concept of “tag sharing” as a “best practice” towards reduction of man-rem. OneNuke

Direct tag printing: –OneNuke desires to change the current method of printing ECO tags: this change will allow us to print directly on the tag instead of printing a label then adhering the label to the tag. OneNuke

At OneNuke the Equipment Clearance Order (ECO) Program ensures the following conditions are established and maintained: –Personnel Safety. –Equipment Protection. –Providing information to plant personnel. –Alerting of unusual equipment conditions. –Component operation with strict control maintained during component manipulation or maintenance. –Temporary configuration control of plant equipment.

OneNuke Business Value –Regulatory change: ROI not required. –Tag Sharing will save OneNuke approximately 5000 tagging activities per outage (18 month fuel cycle). –Printing on tags directly will save approximately 30 seconds of plant operator time per tag printed. OneNuke

Benefit Projections Tangible Benefits: 5000 tagging activities per outage per unit (18 month fuel cycle) Assumption based on query of existing application for tag duplication during outages. (Assume 15 min per activity at $40/hr) 2 units = tags per 18 months = 6,667 tags/yr 6,667 / 4 * 40 = $66,670/yr savings 55,000 tags per year. (Assume 30 seconds to affix label to tag and laminate at $40/hr). –55000/120 * 40 = $18,333 Total Benefits: $85,003/year Break-Even Point: 2.78 years OneNuke
