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.

The fission cross sections of 232Th, 233U, 234U, 235U, 236U, 237Np, 238U, 239Pu, 240Pu, 241Pu, and 242Pu from 1 keV to 10 MeV published up to July, 1965, were analyzed previously to select best fission cross sections for fast-reactor analysis. Since the completion of that work, new data have been produced which necessitate reevaluation of the fission cross sections particularly in the region 1 to 5 MeV. The revised data presented here are believed to be of greater consistency and, hence, accuracy than the previous selection.
