Constellation seeks FERC help with Crane restart
When the former Three Mile Island-1 restarts in 2027 as the Crane Clean Energy Center, it will not face a delay of several years before it can be reconnected to the grid, Constellation CEO Joseph Dominguez said this week.
Among the items that emerged on Constellation and the Crane restart in Middletown, Pa., during last week’s CERAWeek energy conference was a Reuters report on an analysis from electric grid provider PJM suggesting the plant may not be connected to the grid until 2031.

Collision-induced infrared spectroscopy may be used to measure the composition of a liquid or solid deuterium-tritium (D-T) mixture. For T2, DT and D2, respectively, we measure the areas under the absorption peaks in the regions 76.75 to 80.19, 85.29 to 88.74, and 92.79 to 96.23 THz (2560–2675, 2845–2960, and 3095–3210 cm−1). These areas are multiplied, respectively, by these isotopic sensitivities derived from quantum calculations: 1.000, 0.891, and 0.811. The resulting numbers are proportional to the molar composition. Nearly equimolar D-T samples show good agreement between mass and infrared spectroscopy. The large DT peak in enriched molecular DT overemphasizes D2 in the infrared analysis, but these results may be corrected with the room-temperature, mass-spectroscopic D-to-T ratio.
