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.”

A computer code, LITFIRE, has been written to simulate the effects of lithium fires in fusion reactor containments. Development of the models in the code is discussed. Results of a study based on small-scale tests of lithium fires indicate that the code is capable of reasonable predictions of the temperature of the lithium pool and the atmosphere. However, the effects of simultaneous reactions with oxygen and nitrogen are the major source of uncertainty.
