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.”

A dynamical model is proposed to account for cold fusion processes in deuterated palladium on the basis of lattice collapse induced by thermodynamic instability. The relevant role of deuteron drag in enhancing the nuclear fusion rate is analyzed. The nuclear reaction yield is explicitly calculated as a function of the palladium-deuterium thermodynamic parameters.
