Quad Cities violations lead to NRC confirmatory order
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has sent a confirmatory order to Constellation Energy Generation outlining the agreed-on actions to address apparent violations of agency requirements at Quad Cities nuclear power plant in Cordova, Ill. The corrective and preventive actions are based on a June neutral party–mediated alternative dispute resolution (ADR) session that had been requested by Constellation to help it and agency decide on steps forward.

Validation of thermal-hydraulic codes for system design and safety analysis is dependent on applicable and appropriately scaled experimental data. There are several scaling methodologies for justifying the use of data from small-scale facilities for simulation of large-scale reactor systems. These methods continue to be improved and extended to new situations. This panel will discuss the "art of scaling" and progress in development of scaling methods.
