Re: new rules for nuder operator RULEMAKINGS AND ADJUDICATIONS STAFF Hello:
I am the technical lead for the proposed worker fatigue provisions. I have noted you concern regarding the impact of the proposed requirements on 8-hour shifts and your e-mail describing this concern will be recorded as a formal comment on the rulemaking. We have received several similar comments from other workers in the industry and will carefully consider this matter. Please be assured that the staff's objective in proposing break requirements is to reduce the potential for fatigue from many consecutive work days, and is not intended to favor a particular work schedule.
I noted in your comment that you would like to speak with an NRC representative regarding the proposed requirements. I have provided my contact information below. I will gladly provide any clarification regarding the proposed fatigue provisions and would be interested in hearing your comments and concerns. However, please note that for any comments to be formally considered as part of the rulemaking process they must be submitted in writing.
Thank you for your interest in this proposed rulemaking.

hi, I would like to input my comments on the new rules for nuclear operator fatigue.
your rules are set up to limit fatigue for operators who work 12 hour1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> shifts,and not 8 hour9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> shifts,your rules will force us to change our work schedule to comply with the 7 days In a row. i work at beaver valley power station.
I have worked as a operator for over 25 years, both on 8 hour9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> shifts and 12 hour1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> shifts,you will be forcing the entire industry to go to 12 hour1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> shifts which results in greater fatigue then working 7 days in a row,which makes me wonder if fatigue is realy a concern or if you have a agenda to see all operation departments working 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />.
