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 experience with tritium contaminations are described for structural components of the permeation facility TRIPERM. It is demonstrated that contaminations of the secondary containment and the laboratory room are negligible after five years actual working time. Also it is shown that components such as the tritium pressure gas bottle, the permeation unit and the tritium monitoring systems can be decontaminated without any problems and that they are fully operational after this procedure.
