***..where is your floor guy on 11-7?***

I gusee I am missing the meaning of what you mean.

I don't want to bust your nads, I love Power Plant Talk. I also spent my whole life in the trade of making electricity, I was in Maintenance, I&C, Operations, and Electrical, I loved it, the most fun you can have standing up.

I also recognize the problems that can exist in an organization, even the best run, and from all of the EPRI reports that I have read over the years there can be a few, even among the Sainted Nukes.

One of the biggest problems that A Control Room Operator has is getting timely information. The DCS provides much but the floor guy, with experience, can anticipate, based on experience, what might happen. The CRO, if the floor guy is correct or if he isn't and is acting on a hunch, can monitor that parameter and pass it on up the line

I have looked at a lot of places where the floor guy does a horizontal eight on the 11-7 and the CRO takes it in the butt because he didn't notice a obscure alarm.
