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 session will highlight current and emergent issues in consensus standards, with a focus on industry needs for standards actions. The topics will also include: moving from risk informed to performance based standards; harmonization among ANS standards and between ANS standards and standards from other SDOs; digital twins as an adjunct to licensing by test; potential for standards action for System-Theoretic Process Analysis; perspectives by several ANS Consensus Committees; and may include perspectives from ASME, EPRI, IEEE, INPO, NEI, ISO and regulators. The Risk-Informed, Performance-Based Principles and Policy Committee (RP3C) has participated in organizing this panel.
