A Florida Power and Light Co. study and demonstration of automated system control to manage nuclear plant outages and reduce downtime found the system improved reaction to problems and shortened the length of outages for refueling. The use of PROJECT/2 at Turkey Point improved early warning, interdepartmental planning, and support estimates. The study established a reduction in manpower needs, operating costs, and refueling days. It also identified some areas for plant improvements. (DCK)
