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 Safety and Tritium Applied Research (STAR) Facility has been established at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL) and is designated as a National User Facility. STAR is designed for use by the fusion community to study tritium science and technology issues associated with the development of fusion technology. The facility tritium inventory limit is 16,000 Ci, allowing several simultaneous experiments requiring hundreds to a few thousand Ci per experiment. Experiments are conducted in gloveboxes. Current plans include research on tritium interactions with plasma facing materials; tritium behavior, corrosion and safety studies for molten fluoride salts; chemical reactivity of fusion materials; mobilization of activation products and characterization of dust/debris from fusion devices.
