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 heterogeneous reaction between oxygen/helium gas, tritium and stainless steel was studied at the back surface of a stainless steel tube. The yield of tritiated water was determined as a function of oxygen concentration, tritium concentration, protium concentration, flow rate, and temperature. This report describes the results for two sets of runs done at 550°C with and without 15 ppm protium in the oxygen/helium gas. At oxygen concentrations of 40 ppm, the presence of excess protium in the oxygen/ helium produced a reduced yield of tritiated water. At oxygen concentrations >1000 ppm, the two yields were equivalent, 98%.
