Industry Update—August 2025
Here is a recap of industry happenings from the recent past:
SMR service center targeted for Ontario
GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy has announced plans to invest as much as $50 million to establish a Canadian BWRX-300 Engineering and Service Center near Ontario Power Generation’s Darlington New Nuclear Project site. The Ontario government had previously approved the construction of the first of four BWRX-300 small modular reactors at the site. The center will provide engineering and technical services for the long-term operation and maintenance of the future fleet of SMRs in Ontario. It will also serve as a hub for innovation and training, knowledge sharing, supply chain engagement, and workforce development.

The tomography of fusion plasmas provides local information on plasma emissivity from line-integrated measurements (projections). However, the corresponding inversion task presents an ill-posed and often underdetermined problem. Compared to industrial and medical tomography systems, data in fusion research are spatially sparse due to the limited number of lines of sight, and they may vary rapidly in time. Therefore, dedicated inversion techniques have been developed that allow for lower spatial resolution and implementation of a priori information and constraints. In this contribution, the main inversion techniques used today are reviewed, with working results and challenges outlined. Special attention is given to techniques that allow for rapid tomography inversions, because of their future potential for real-time applications, and a new combined technique is proposed.
