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.

The eigensolutions of the multigroup neutron transport equation for the isotropic scattering medium in plane geometry are found by developing Case's method. The solution of the adjoint equation is also given in an explicit form. The completeness of the eigensolutions is proved by using the orthogonality relation to the adjoint solution. The degeneracy for the continuous eigenvalue is expressed in two ways: the unit vector system and the eigenvector system. In the latter case the orthogonality is formed, and the eigenvector system is thought of as a proper normal mode. As an application of this method, the infinite medium Green's function is constructed.
