Are Hollywood portrayals of cyber attacks exaggerating the risks we face?
Since the early 1980s, when Hollywood showed “War Games,” where a teenage gamer brought the world to the edge of nuclear destruction, the entertainment industry has been frightening us about the Internet and the vital systems it supports. In the 2007 “Die Hard” movie, Bruce

Adopt a Science-based Approach: 
Use science, not hearsay, to understand your mercury capture and other effects.  Successful mercury control requires Contact, Conversion and Capture to occur to remove mercury from the system.  Each of these mechanisms must have a high degree of efficiency.  All three mechanisms must occur in as little as half a second up

A smooth upgrade to S+ Operations with no downtimes and disturbances
Lakewood Cogen Plant is a combined cycle facility with a generating capacity of 246 MW, configured with two combustion turbines and one steam turbine. Cogen’s primary fuel source is natural gas Backed up by ultra-low-sulfur diesel (ULSD) fuel which operates during natural gas supply disruptions.

Our nation’s history has been marked by the discovery of large troves of energy, harnessing that energy from nature, and then utilizing it without apprehension.  Shale gas is the rising energy star of this era.  With the emergence of this latest low-cost energy source, we have a chance to write a new chapter in our

Introduction
Central district heating systems have gained attention in recent years because they can be more efficient than localized boiler units. The efficiency of district heating is usually realized due to power generation plants being able to produce heat and electricity simultaneously. They also use more advanced flue gas cleaning than single boiler systems resulting in

Dissolved gas control in a nuclear power plant’s water system, including the primary make-up water storage tank and refueling water storage tank, can be essential to reduce radiation source term (defined as a release of radioactive material). Controlling dissolved gases can also help reduce the formation of unwanted radionuclides, such as 14C and oxides of

 
Over the past few years data diodes have received a lot of attention due to their ability to assist plants in defending against cyber security threats. A traditional diode allows current to flow in only one direction in an electrical circuit. Similarly a data diode ensures unidirectional communication from high to low security areas of a
