NO ROOM IN THE POOL: DRY STORAGE OPTIONS FOR SPENT NUCLEAR FUEL - Utilities are facing a thorny problem in managing the highly radioactive fuel that is discharged from nuclear reactors used to generate electricity. It is estimated that 78 of the 103 reactors in the U.S. will have no room left in their spent fuel pools by 2010. To extend the length of time facilities can store and manage the discharged nuclear fuel on-site, many plant owners are installing or evaluating dry cask storage| 2001

PLANT UPGRADES ADD CAPACITY AT LESS COST - Significant growth in demand for electricity in many parts of the U.S. is increasing the demand for generating capacity. Because new greenfield power plants can take many years to construct, however, the need to repower and upgrade older power plants is becoming more important| 2001

COMPRESSED AIR ENERGY STORAGE ADAPTS PROVEN TECHNOLOGY TO ADDRESS MARKET OPPORTUNITIES - Compressed air energy storage offers many favorable advantages for providing intermediate and peaking power. By relying on low-cost, off-peak power to pressurize and store air that can later be expanded through a gas turbine during on-peak periods, CAES can cost-effectively and reliably respond to market signals. The Norton Energy Storage power generation facility, under development in Ohio, will be the largest CAES plant in the world when it comes on line over the next several years| 2001

HIGH HUMIDITY AND LOW TEMPERATURES NOT A DETERRENT TO EVAPORATIVE COOLING - This article debunks the claim that evaporative cooling of gas turbine inlet air is only economical in areas with low humidity and high temperatures. The author discusses the use of cooling degree hours for determining the suitability, and economics, of inlet air cooling for areas with high humidity and low temperatures| 2001

REPAIR SOLUTIONS FOR STEAM AND GAS TURBINES - Repair and refurbishment are increasingly common practices as installed steam and gas turbines age and as power producers seek to maximize unit lifetime, availability and profitability. Stress corrosion cracking in steam turbines and the stresses associated with high firing temperatures in gas turbines have heightened interest in novel refurbishment techniques that can accommodate compressed outage schedules and prevent component replacement| 2001
