    Survey Meter

    Reading Primer

    Bartlett Nuclear, Inc. -- May 2007 1


    Introduction (1 of 2)
    During the spring 2007 outage season there were
    several locations where a timed meter reading exercise
    was given.
    The following exercise is designed to allow you to
    practice your meter reading & interpretation skills
    before you report to a site & potentially encounter a
    timed exam.

    Our thanks go to Ray Hock and the Training Staff at


    Susquehanna for providing the meter face images

    Bartlett Nuclear, Inc. -- May 2007 2


    Introduction (2 of 2)

    As you work through the examples remember


    that the objective is just to read the meter (not
    subtract background, etc.)

    If you have any questions please contact Jerry


    Hiatt (x1286) or Fred Campbell (x1287) in the
    Bartlett Home office
