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.”

As a part of the DOE-sponsored Heavy Ion Fusion Systems Assessment (HIFSA) project, a systems and costing computer model has been developed to examine the behavior of a linear induction accelerator-driven (LINAC) HIF power plant. The main purpose of this code is to examine different system and subsystem options as well as a large range of parameter space in which an HIF power plant might operate. The ultimate goals include the identification of: (1) desirable operating regimes, (2) preferred system and subsystem options, (3) systems with major cost impacts, and (4) systems where appropriate research and development or technological breakthroughs could yield significant economic benefits.
