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.”

Further enhancements to the JET Facilities' Torus will necessitate breaching highly tritiated environments. This may involve on-site work and/or work in a number of support facilities either by remote handling or manual means. This paper gives a brief in-sight concerning these arrangements and the techniques used to control and contain tritium in it's various forms. Details of enclosures, their ventilation, decontamination techniques and operational experiences from three major engineering shutdowns are discussed in detail.
