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.
Educational Session|Panel|Sponsored by Plant Reliability

In today's rapidly evolving nuclear landscape digital systems come with the promise of plant reliability, controllability and maintainability. Successful implementation of digital control system projects requires a holistic approach that considers an operations-centered design process. This process addresses the needs of key Operations stakeholders from early project scoping. This panel discussion explores the benefits of this approach on reducing the enterprise, project, operational, and financial risk.
This session will delve into the impact of evolving control room design and concept of operations on project outcomes. Our panelists will highlight how early stakeholder engagement can result in reduced design and project churn, increased reliability, and higher quality scoping. By incorporating strategic control room evolutionary design, standardization, human system interface requirements and the system engineering process, utilities can avoid what feels like inevitable scope drift, cost escalation and missed opportunities to reduce operational risk.
Drawing from extensive experience and expertise in these areas, this panel will provide valuable insights on applying the concept of Operations-Centered design to maximize the benefits of digital modernization initiatives.
