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.

With the conclusion of the CASL program in the summer of 2020, the focus for the VERA software suite it developed has shifted to commercial implementation, particularly with regard to reactor diagnostics and aging management of the current fleet. Speakers in this panel will discuss the potential applications for VERA in these areas, the technical hurdles that will need to be addressed, the regulatory aspects of employing VERA for these tasks, and the potential economic benefits to such an approach.
