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 facility to recover tritium from liquid waste streams generated by the pharmaceutical industry in their drug development programs has been designed and fabricated and is in various stages of completion. This facility comprises four units: oxidation, water purification, electrolysis, and isotope separation. The oxidation system has been fully commissioned. The water purification system has been designed but not yet constructed. The electrolysis system has been installed, and final acceptance commissioning completed. Functional testing of the isotope separation system is underway. The entire facility is expected to process active materials in mid 2002.
