NRC Shutdown Sparks Major Overhaul at Power Station B
Circadian Case Study: Nuclear Power Station B - Challenge: Regaining and Maintaining Full Operational Status
When Power Station B faced an unprecedented shutdown after NRC inspectors found operators asleep at their controls, the resulting loss of $350 million in replacement power costs underscored critical issues in shift management.
With the management team dismissed, Power Station B turned to Circadian Technologies, Inc. (CTI) for a comprehensive solution. CTI's approach included a thorough analysis of human alertness factors and a revamped shift schedule. By introducing a targeted employee alertness program, enhancing work schedules, and providing extensive training, CTI aimed to restore operations quickly and set a new standard for excellence in the industry.
This initiative not only addressed immediate operational needs but also significantly improved shift worker health and performance.
