Blades-in turbine inspections at Quad Cities set new benchmark for Constellation
When Constellation decided to install replacement Alstom low-pressure turbines at three of its boiling water reactor plants more than 15 years ago, one benefit was knowing the new turbines should operate reliably—and without major inspections—for several years.

Since July 1990, EG&G Mound has been the tritium sales and distribution office for the U.S. Department of Energy commercial tritium sales program. The transfer of this responsibility from Oak Ridge National Laboratory occurred when rising performance standards within the department dictated the use of facilities which were not readily available at Oak Ridge but which were in place at Mound. Numerous practices used in Mound's tritium operations are described and the first years operation is summarized.
