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.”

R&D Fellow
Dow
Scott J. Bury is an R&D Fellow in Dow's Core R&D organization. Scott started his 32-year and counting Dow adventure at the Plaquemine, Louisiana site in the Environmental Research Group. After a few years, he became the first member of the new Process Optimization R&D group. Over the past two decades, he has helped to grow and shape the group, now called Machine Learning, Optimization, and Statistics(MiLOS), through technology development, value delivery and recruiting talented young researchers. His research portfolio includes operations research, process modeling, operational reliability, product design for reliability, and discrete manufacturing modeling. His current focus is mentoring all the new members of the MiLOS team and working with Dow's Energy and Climate Business to explore nuclear power for decarbonization. He participates in several external technology programs and National Lab collaborations and is active in Dow's University Research Program.
