According to an account of the case published by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), the design documents that had been completed by the outside detailer to whom the fabricators had outsourced their design work were returned to the engineer of record with... 

Small reactors without on-site refuelling incorporate increased refuelling interval (from 5 to 30 years and more), consistent with plant economy and considerations of energy security. Both front-end and back-end fuel cycle services are assumed to be completely outsourced for such reactors, i.e., they are either factory fabricated and fuelled or undergo a once-at-a-time core reloading performed at the site by a dedicated service team provided by the vendor of the fuel or the reactor itself such team is assumed to bring in and take away the fresh and spent fuel load and the refuelling equipment. 

To their users, factory fabricated and fuelled reactors may also appear more environmentally clean, more simple and safe, just because all operations with fuel are outsourced and the reactor actually appears as a long-lasting nuclear battery, perhaps, weld sealed during the whole period of its operation on the site. 

From the buyer s point of view the attractiveness of a battery plant rests on his acceptance of receiving a standard-design, pre-licensed commodity product and outsourcing responsibility for both the power plant fabrication/installation and the fuel cycle services - as an alternative to the cost of developing an indigenous front-to-back fuel cycle industry. 

If you plan to build fixtures in-house, recognize that you are creating a complete manufacturing operation. Measnrement of complete material, labor, inventory, and overhead costs as well as operating efficiency is critical to effective management of this operation. Don t just measure how fast you build a fixture, but include measurement of the time it takes to get it running. Consider whether you would be better served by outsourcing fixture fabrication.
