For all folks coming to Quad Cities Outage, first let me say Thank you. My name is Liz Roberts and I will be the Coordinator. The report time is 0630 for your first day. Report to the Training building on site. I will be in the cafeteria with folders containing Bartlett inprocessing paperwork. Most of our folks will have FFD scheduled right away, so plan accordingly. If you are going to be late, please call. I will have my cell phone and will check messages regularly. My number is 815-790-1552. Reception is limited within the building.
After picking up your Bartlett folder, you will proceed to the inprocessing folder. In this folder, look for the purple training schedule. This will list all of your classes required prior to badging. Do not be late to classes; no late entries are accepted and you will have to re-schedule. This will delay badging.
The outage is scheduled to begin March 19th, 2011. The outage duration is approx. 17 days. During the outage we will work seven twelve’s (84 hours per week). Prior to the outage we will work five eight’s (40 hours per week) with limited overtime.
If you have any questions not addressed on the blog, please feel free to call or email me. My email address is elizabeth.roberts@bartlettinc.com and my cell phone is 815-790-1552. 11/16/2009Quad Cities Generating Station, located on the banks of the Mississippi River in the Northwestern Illinois town of Cordova, is a dual-unit nuclear generating facility capable of producing over 900 gross megawatts per unit. Together the units can produce enough power to meet the electrical needs of nearly 1 million households.
Its Units 1 and 2 began commercial operation in February 1973 and March 1973, respectively. Both units are single-cycle forced-circulation boiling water reactors. The station is co-owned: Exelon Nuclear is the license holder and owns 75 percent of the plant, and MidAmerican Energy Company owns the remaining 25 percent. 11/17/2008

Important:
You need 2 forms of ID. One must be a valid government issued photo ID (Valid {NOT EXPIRED} Driver’s License, State ID, or Passport), and the other should be your social security card, or ORIGINAL birth certificate. Senior HP techs must take the Nuclear Utilities Fundamentals Exam (NUF) and pass with a grade of 80% or better, unless you are either an NRRPT “active participant”, or have taken the NUF within the past 4 years and passed with 80%. NRRPT and prior test results must be verified, so bring your NRRPT certificate with you, or know where and when you last passed the NUF, in case it is not recorded in PADS. If we cannot verify your status, you will be required to take the test about midweek. Juniors will be required to take a theory exam. Study material can be found at www.westrain.org Study sections RP-3 and RP-5.
Miscellaneous:
Hard hats and safety glasses are available, however if you have your own favorites, they are acceptable as long as they meet ANSI standards. If you have been issued hardhats at a previous outage, please bring it with you. No shortpants are allowed in training. You must have on longpants and a sleeved shirt. Composite toe or Steel toe shoes are required. Work shoes must be worn during in-processing. Scrubs are provided on-site. Bank runs and other off-site errands will be very hard to accommodate during the first couple days of training, especially for non-returnees, as the in-processing schedule for those days is fairly tight. See the links on the upper right corner of the blog. The Destination Quad Cities link gives all the lodging available and other info about the area. There is also a link to a map of the area.
The casinos in the area and Walmart are the two main places folks cash checks. The banks will no longer work with us to cash checks for individuals who do not have an account with their facility. |
