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.

We examine the hydrogen adsorption behavior of chabazite (CHA) and Linde Type A (LTA) zeolites, both of which possess an eight-membered ring (Si8O8), as the temperature was increased from 77 K (thermal adsorption spectroscopy). The CHA-type zeolites started to uptake hydrogen at around 200 K, whereas no other adsorbent showed any hydrogen uptake. The hydrogen adsorption temperature of CHA was similar to that observed by thermal desorption spectroscopy. A high D2/H2 separation ability at relatively high temperature in the CHA-type zeolites may be expected in the intrinsic adsorption property.
