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 brings together alumni of the Texas A&M Nuclear Engineering program spanning more than five decades, from the class of 1965 through the class of 2016. The discussion will explore how the TAMU nuclear engineering program has evolved alongside the nuclear industry, what career paths have been available to graduates across different eras, and what the future holds. This panel is explicitly designed as a celebration and inspiration for current students — a "hoorah" for Aggie nuclear alumni and a reminder of the legacy they are joining.
