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.

Corrosion of candidate materials of insulating coating was investigated in natural convection lithium (Li) loop. The loop was constructed for present study and bulk specimens of Er2O3, Y2O3 and AlN were placed at several positions in the loop. The operation temperature was 400 °C in the low temperature region and 500 °C in the high temperature region. After the exposure, specimens were cleaned and the corrosion characteristics were investigated. The results indicated that the corrosion characteristics of the bulk specimens were similar to those obtained by the static test in the previous study.
