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.”

Experiments of H2-HT isotope separation were carried out with a hot wire column of 3 cm in diameter and 1.5 m in length. Separation factors were measured with cut changed from 0.1 to 0.9, and other operational conditions; pressure, feed rate and temperature difference, fixed. First, the feed rate was altered under the constant pressure, and next, pressure was changed. Experimental results were compared with those from an axisymmetric separative analysis, based on a Newton iterative solution of a convection-diffusion equation. Pressure dependence of separation factors agreeed qualitatively with those from theory. The separative power has a maximum value at 0.12 ∼ 0.16 MPa, when the feed rate was under 100 cm3/m(at 0.1 MPa, 25°C).
