[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!
