Facilities Maintenance & Janitorial | Project Experience

Client/Site: Duke Energy / Catawba, McGuire & Oconee Nuclear Power Plants Project: Janitorial, Utility, Radiation Protection & Decontamination (JURD) Services

Project Description:

Bartlett Nuclear, Inc. (BNI) provides a comprehensive package of facilities maintenance services and support, including supervisory and technical staff, for related work evolutions under this multi-year contract at Duke Energy’s corporate and all three nuclear facilities. BNI provides both outage and non-outage (i.e., normal operations) coverage.

BNI Support includes:

• ALARA & radiation protection reviews of outage work scope, work packages, work planning processes and outage schedules
• RWP development and risk analysis and planning, including orientation and training of contract craft workers (both in classroom and simulated/mockup facilities)
• Provided equipment, dosimetry and supervision & job coverage
• Planning & oversight of work evolutions, ensuring minimal radiological exposure, waste and contamination throughout the steam generator removal, transport & replacement
• Supported the utility Auxiliary Building, Fuel Building, RCB Refuel Floor and Reactor Cavity
• Coordinated utility/client relations (i.e., interpreting site culture) for recognized seamless contract control and interaction

Results & Achievements:

• Recognized by Duke Energy for our “Zero Injuries Safety Vision”
• Implementation of our career development program has allowed janitorial personnel the ability to become fully-qualified health physics technicians, available through cross-training to support specific system outages and fill emergent needs, resulting in cost and resource savings to Duke Energy.
