EPRI / NEI Work Hours Task Force White Paper: Managing Fatigue in the Nuclear Energy Industry: Challenges and Opportunities Prepared for the NEI Work Hours Task Force by:

EPRI Perspective: For many years, the energy industry has been concerned with the effects of fatigue on the quality of life, health, safety, and productivity of their employees. Since the early 1980s, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Generic Letter 82-12 has provided work hour guidance for the nuclear industry. This guidance for work rules is under review by industry leaders and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and a potential rulemaking process is underway (SECY 01-0113).
