28-Day Outage.
15,000 Tasks. Zero Surprises.
The Challenge
Outage windows measured in hours, not days
A nuclear refueling outage costs $1-2 million per day in replacement power. Every hour of delay directly impacts the bottom line. Outage tasks must be tracked in hours, not the days typical of construction reporting.
Clearance and tagging documentation must be real-time
Nuclear plant clearance and tagging procedures are safety-critical. A worker entering a system without proper clearance verification can cause a nuclear safety event. Paper-based tagging systems cannot provide real-time status.
Outage scope changes cascade through interconnected work packages
When scope is added to one work package, it impacts the schedule of five others. Understanding the cascade impact in real time requires a level of schedule integration that outage management spreadsheets cannot provide.
800+ workers during outage with complex qualification requirements
A major outage brings 800 additional workers on site. Each requires specific qualifications, training, and clearance levels for different plant areas. Managing qualifications manually at this scale is impossible.
The POD Advantage
Hourly Outage Progress Reports
Report task completion, delay causes, and status changes by voice at hourly intervals. POD aggregates updates into a real-time outage dashboard showing critical path status.
Digital Clearance Verification
Every clearance and tagging event documented with timestamp, worker identity, and system status. Workers verified against clearance requirements before entering any system boundary.
Cascade Impact Analysis
When a task is delayed or scope is added, POD shows the cascade impact across all affected work packages instantly. Make informed decisions about recovery plans with complete impact visibility.
Workforce Qualification Dashboard
Track qualifications, training, and clearance levels for every worker during the outage. Auto-flag workers whose qualifications do not match their assigned tasks or plant areas.
