1. Currently utilize Westinghouse F-5 Field Specification recommended bridge-type core reload
2. During core verification we will just visually look for any unusual gaps using an underwater camera, but no equipment is used to physically measure the gaps.

Subject: [Pwrrm] Core loading and gap checks
Sent by: pwrrm@retaqs.com

All,

At Kewaunee, we’re considering a change from the standard bridge pattern of core on-load to a modified crescent. I have the following questions for the industry:
1. What core loading pattern do you use?
2. Do you use software/equipment to physically measure the gaps between assemblies?
3. If so, what is the software/equipment?

Thank you in advance for any information you can offer.
