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.”

In the past few years, five separate studies have been undertaken at AECL's Chalk River Laboratories to determine the levels of tritium in the environment due to routine releases from an experimental heavy water reactor. Data from these studies are presented in terms of the ratios of the long-term average tritium concentrations in precipitation, soil and plants to the long-term average HTO concentration in air moisture. The data are used to assess the performance of models that predict long-term average tritium concentrations in the environment.
