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.”

The "CEA cryogenic target fabrication project" includes materials and technological researches on the Cryogenic Target Assembly (CTA), the DT filling and cryogenic transport to the LMJ site, and the conformation of the DT solid layer. The Research program to deliver CTAs to LMJ in 2010 is described. Some important experimental results have already been obtained and are presented.
