BFN Projects Employment The new 20-cell cooling tower to replace the burned tower in vacant position #4 is planned for Unit 1 recovery, to be completed prior to the first summer following Unit 1 restart, and is independent of Extended Power Uprate (EPU) for Unit 1 or Units 2 & 3. This means that regardless of the schedule for EPU on any unit, the 6th tower is scheduled for completion prior to the summer heat season after Unit 1 becomes operational. The sixth cooling tower is one of a large number of activities encompassed by the labor numbers and schedules presented for Unit 1 recovery in Section E.3.4, Employment, of the License Renewal Environmental Report; it is not broken out separately since it is not a significant portion of the total Unit 1 recovery activities.

EPU activities for Unit 1 are also part of the overall projected labor numbers and schedules presented in Section E.3.4, Employment of the License Renewal ER, and are not broken out separately. Similarly, for Units 2 and 3, the EPU tasks are among the many activities scheduled for two outages prior to start-up with EPU in place, currently scheduled for spring 2007 for Unit 2 and spring 2008 for Unit 3. The labor numbers and schedule for a typical refueling outage (such as those with EPU tasks) are also presented in Section E.3.4 of the ER; since the units are on a two-year refueling cycle, Figure E.3-1 is representative for EPU tasks in the spring of 2005 and spring of 2007 refueling outages for Unit 2, and in the spring of 2006 and spring 2008 refueling outages for Unit 3.

The spent fuel storage project is well underway. Moving spent fuel into storage casks is expected to begin in mid-2005. Cask loading campaigns will typically be conducted thereafter on a yearly basis between refueling outages and will involve loading of 5-10 casks. The cask-loading campaign crew size will be approximately 40, consisting primarily of contractor personnel with appropriate site oversight and site organizational involvement. Typically a campaign to load 5 casks will take less than a month.
