Yes
1. 144 hours (best ever is 128, best ever for offload-CEA
shuffle-reload is 144)
2. 217, 89 CEAs
3. 217 + 92 = 319 fuel, 89 CEA
4. Yes, we have a dual masted refuel machine - one for CEAs and one
for fuel (including a fuel assembly with a CEA in it)

Subject: [Respvr] PWR Core Reload Question
Some questions for the PWR folks:
Do you perform in-core shuffle for reloads?
If yes ...
1. How much time is normally scheduled for in-core shuffle?
2. How many FA in your core? How many components (burnable
poisons, control rods, sources, thimbles, etc.)?
3. Roughly, how many individual assembly or component moves is
your normal reload?
4. Do you have an installed mast for components (I've heard that
some use a temporary component mast installed each outage)?
Thanks!
Carl
