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|Technology Research and Development
Wednesday, April 29, 2026|2:00–3:20PM EDT|Room 305
This panel will discuss supporting technologies that do not typically receive much attention (e.g., power conversion controllers, reactor instrumentation and control, radiation modeling and shielding, and in-space assembly of modular radiators for NEP). Each of these technology areas is a critical enabler of future space nuclear systems. The panel will discuss current efforts and identified gaps requiring more investigation for development.
