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.

Differential cross sections for neutron-induced gamma-ray production from thorium have been measured for incident neutron energies between 0.3 and 20.0 MeV. The Oak Ridge Electron Linear Accelerator was used as a neutron source. A Nal spectrometer at 125 deg detected the gamma rays. Data include the doubly differential cross section, d2σ/dΩdEγ, for gamma-ray energies between 0.3 and 10.6 MeV and the integrated gamma-ray yield as a function of the incident neutron energy.
