The article discusses about Nuclear Energy Institute channels, made for improving the safety of the nuclear power plants by eliminating resistance to insertion of the control blades. Topics discussed include issues surrounding fuel performance of channel control blade interference; application of boiling water reactor zirconium alloys in nuclear technology; and its impact on the costs of the plant.
