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.”

Five-layered W/Cu functionally graded materials with fine grain sizes of 0.2, 1, and 7 m were fabricated by resistance sintering under ultrahigh pressure. Microstructure analysis found that they have a good graded composition distribution and mechanical properties. After about 2000 s edge plasma exposure in the HT-7 superconducting tokamak, the results indicated that the fine-grained tungsten can enhance mechanical strength, and it is favorable to hold back crack propagation and growth; however, the effects on impurity deposition and compound formation were not obvious.
