BWXT announces nuclear manufacturing plant expansion
BWX Technologies announced today plans to expand and add advanced manufacturing equipment to its manufacturing plant in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada.
A $36.3 million USD ($50M CAD) expansion will increase the plant’s size by 25 percent—to 280,000 square feet—and another $21.7 million USD ($30M CAD) will be spent on new equipment to increase and accelerate its output of large nuclear components. The investment will increase capacity and create more than 200 long-term jobs for skilled workers, engineers, and support staff, according to the company.

By using the two-dimensional rigorous numerical solution of flow and convection-diffusion equations, the H2-HT separative performances of 77 K “cryogenic-wall” thermal diffusion columns with 1,500 mm-fixed height and various radii of 1277 K hot and cold walls with feed rate being parametrically changed. Analyses revealed that the smaller radii columns are useful when feed flow rate is small while larger radii columns are useful when feed rate is large.
