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.”
Technical Session|Panel|Sponsored by Front End Fuel Cycle Technologies

This panel will discuss the vital role of DOE’s HALEU Allocation Process in enabling advanced reactor demonstrations. Panelists from government, industry, and national laboratories will highlight key milestones achieved under the program, lessons learned, and the importance of HALEU in advancing next-generation reactors and strengthening energy security. The session will also examine HALEU recovery efforts across the national laboratory complex, DOE’s approach to material distribution, and its subsequent use in criticality experiments and reactor demonstration projects.
