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 blanket option featured by helium cooling and lithiated ceramics inside tubes is under development at CEA/ENEA within the framework of the European Test Blanket Program. A first conceptual design of this blanket option for a DEMO reactor has been arrived at, which exhibits good prospects for meeting DEMO requirements. Its critical issues are being addressed in an experimental programme presently in progress.
