The steam turbines in many nuclear power plants use saturated steam and many more use steam with very little superheat. Also, many small auxiliary turbines that run pumps, blowers, and the like often run on saturated steam.
I am not sure what kind of specific references you want, but you might try Backock and Wilcox "Steam" as a starting point. There are a number of reference plants there.

Pronab:
I've used quite a few steam turbines fed with saturated steam. Never had a problem. I used them for direct drives on pumps and even on reciprocating compressors.
Some references found in the InterNet are:
1) Wet-Steam Turbines for Nuclear Power Plants
Dr. Alexander Leyzerovich
Pennwell Books
ISBN: 978-1-59370-032-4
2) http://www.energy.ro.../cogen/jain.pdf
3) http://www.gepower.c.../st_tur_cat.pdf
mvancleave is correct. Many nuclear plants use saturated steam to run their turbines. In fact, most -if not all - Geothermal plants use this type of steam turbine.
I hope this is what you needed to know.
