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.”

This paper describes design considerations on the tritium processing and the tritium laboratory in the International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF) that is being developed for neutron irradiation testing of candidate fusion materials. In the IFMIF the tritium is generated by various reactions. However, the irradiated materials will have high activities. The tritium processing method is designed on the basis of the evaluation for tritium source and generation rate. The tritium laboratory for post irradiation examination (PIE) of the activated/tritium contaminated materials is evaluated.
