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.”

President of ANS Student Chapter
North Carolina State University
Alina Jugan is a junior in nuclear engineering at NC State University and president of its ANS Student Chapter. She intends to pursue accelerated bachelor/master’s degrees (with a minor in physics) and then continue on towards her PhD. Alina was originally drawn to nuclear from an interest in fusion and the science behind energy production. Since then, her interests have expanded to include advanced reactors like molten salts as well as plasma physics. Ultimately, in her future, she plans to work in national and international research labs and projects to advance our reactors. Outside of education, she enjoys her plants (every sunlit surface is covered with them), rock climbing, fiction writing, puns, and dragons.
