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.

Measured cross-section data of the 10B(n,α1)7 Li reaction in the energy region from 0.1 to 2.0 MeV are treated by a renormalization procedure. Renormalization constants are applied to results of seven different experiments, keeping their energy-dependent shapes unaltered. The procedure provides quantitative arguments to reject some discrepant results, and it yields recommended values that are lower than the cross-section values of the ENDF/B-IV file.
