North American construction is back—smaller and faster—at OPG’s Darlington
“The nuclear renaissance is real here,” said Ontario Power Generation’s Subo Sinnathamby on May 8, one year to the day after OPG secured a final investment decision to build the first of four planned BWRX-300 reactors at its Darlington nuclear power plant, and shortly after the new reactor’s foundation was lifted into place. “We got our license to construct in April and our [final investment decision] in May, and we’ve been off to the races since.”

This panel is intended to follow up on a panel from the ANS Annual Conference in 2024, where we explored nuclear's role in strategic international relationships, and the challenges and success that the industry is seeing abroad. In this session, we're looking to expand on these topics and bring voices from international research collaborations, standards development, reactor construction projects. Some questions we'd like to explore are: How are these international collaborations first facilitated? How can young members go about getting involved in these efforts?
