Last month, this column addressed the need for (and philosophy behind) sample testing certain systems when 100% functional performance testing (FPT) is impractical from a time and/or budget ...

Part I of this series introduced the lead/lag control strategy as it applies to parallel pump operation and discussed the need for identifying the designer’s intent for a particular system. Part II ...

Where functional safety risks need to be controlled, relying solely on EMC testing is inadequate, no matter how high the test levels are cranked up. Further, many engineers and project managers are ...

There are limited data from randomized trials to guide a specific follow-up surveillance approach after myocardial revascularization. Whether a follow-up strategy that includes routine functional ...

Georgia Power announced the completion of hot functional testing at Vogtle Unit 4, marking a significant step towards operation. Hot functional testing is conducted without fuel in the reactor. This ...

After PCI, there is no value to routine functional testing above and beyond standard care in high-risk patients, new data suggest. Doing such follow-up at 1 year had no impact on 2-year clinical ...

Rendering Vogtle Units 3 and 4, courtesy of Georgia Power. Southern Co. and Georgia Power’s Vogtle Unit 3 construction project, hit by myriad complications over the years, achieved an important ...

Georgia Power has announced more milestones for its Vogtle nuclear power plant expansion project, including the start of hot functional testing for Unit 3 at the facility in Waynesboro, Georgia. The ...

For patients with diabetes and stable coronary artery disease, use of CT angiography is associated with fewer adverse cardiovascular events when compared with screening that employs functional stress ...

Georgia Power this week announced that Plant Vogtle Unit 4 has started hot functional testing, its next step toward reaching fuel loading. This testing is conducted to confirm the reactor is ready for ...
