Jeremy,
Tim said you had change locations. Good for you. Here are the answers to your questions.
1. What core loading pattern do you use? See attached files reload or offload and the core map
2. Do you use software/equipment to physically measure the gaps between assemblies? NO. Our procedure utilizes the mast camera to visually verify gaps. If you would like a copy of the attachment, I can send it.
3. If so, what is the software/equipment? N/A

Subject: [Pwrrm] Core loading and gap checks
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:
4. What core loading pattern do you use?
5. Do you use software/equipment to physically measure the gaps between assemblies?
6. If so, what is the software/equipment?
Thank you in advance for any information you can offer.
