For Turkey Point (and I believe the entire FPL fleet),  Reactor Engineers are not considered covered workers.  This is based on either providing guidance to Ops that has been independently reviewed in advance (e.g., reactivity plans) or giving advice "on the fly" to an SRO who acts as an independent reviewer and then directs the reactor operator.

Subject: [Pwrrm] New Work Hour Rules

FCS has implemented the new work hour rules such that Reactor Engineers are covered workers. Are Reactor Engineers at other plants considered covered workers?

A quick response would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
