Fort Calhoun is considering performing a manual reactor trip at 20% power (Turbine Trip is actually at 15%) when coming down for our fall outage...  This would save us approximately 2 to 4 hours of critical path.
 
If you currently perform (or can perform) this type of technique or have/had experience with this, please provide me a point of contact or any related information or opinions.
 
Thank you in advance,
