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 tritium technology needs for a Tokamak Demonstration Reactor (DEMO) have been reviewed and compared with the technology that will be developed from pre-DEMO experimental facilities. The Engineering Test Reactors, of either the tokamak or tandem mirror type, can provide most of the technology which can be safely extrapolated to the DEMO. Unresolved issues which need major attention are plasma-wall interactions, tritium barriers in the heat transfer system and tritium breeding in fusion reactor-relevant experimental facilities.
