NRC OKs I&C upgrade for Limerick
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has amended the operating licenses of the two boiling water reactors at Constellation Energy's Limerick nuclear power plant, giving the company the green light to replace the units' analog safety-related instrumentation and controls systems with a state-of-the-art digital system.

The determination of single-component flow velocities is significant in steady-state and transient water vapor-droplet flow systems. The method presented here treats local random vapor density variations and statistically varying droplet concentrations as uncorrelated processes. Signals are generated by simultaneous light absorption and scattering measurements. By applying an adapted correlation technique, gas and droplet velocities within two-phase flows can be determined separately
