Abstract

MAGLEV, Inc. (MLI) measured, by means of Coherent Laser Radar (CLR), a Steam Turbine Nozzle Box supplied by First Energy Corporation. The article is measured to determine the feasibility of CLR technology to access and measure nozzle surfaces on the leading edge of the vanes. 2.0 Summary This effort and additional scanning will be continued at MLI for the next week to assure all surface data can be measured adequately enough to obtain results. The ability to reflect from multiple mirrors will be tested in the next round of scanning. In addition, the data will be processed for comparison as described within this writing.
