Does anyone have an opinion on possible contributing personnel issues, subcontractors potentially not aware of processes, procedures or pratfalls or old-timers retiring to deplete the knowledge base?

Might be useful to know why that unit was
in the process of a maintenance shutdown

Planned and routine, or unplanned and diagnostic

Back in the early ‘90’s I worked an “Outage” at Oconee Nuclear as a Powerhouse Mechanic with a subcontractor. They ran us through two weeks of classes before we began the job.

This WAS nuclear, of course, was was probably far more stringent. However, back in 2009, I worked as a fiber optic engineer on a rebuilding project at a refinery in Beaumont TX after one of the hurricanes. Again, we all went through a very thorough class schedule, fully documented with permanent certification badges.
