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 Fusion Breeder Program is a DOE funded program directed by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory; the other participants in this hybrid fusion reactor design are TRW Company, GA Technologies Inc., Westinghouse Corporation, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. GA is responsible for the following areas of reactor design: blanket thermal hydraulics, blanket thermal power conversion, fuel handling, blanket and reactor safety, and reprocessing of the bred fuel. The design of the first four areas will be reported in this paper.
