2008 Operations Schedule

This schedule is a best estimate of cycle dates through December 2008. It should be noted that startup and shutdown dates can be altered by elements not under the control of Operations, such as storms or unexpected maintenance. As much as possible, Operations will hold to a schedule of a startup on Thursday, 38 days of operation, then a shutdown on Sunday. The shutdown will be followed by an 11 day maintenance period. Please note that the October 6 cycle does not begin on Thursday or end on Sunday. Also note the two day NIST site-wide outage in this cycle. The cycle which begins in December will be completed in January 2009. We will update this schedule if further adjustments become necessary.
