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.”

Overview of National Tritium Program | doi.org/10.13182/FST92-A29748
Articles are hosted by Taylor and Francis Online.
This paper summarizes tritium technology efforts currently under way in Canada. Emphasis is given to CFFTP funded work related to fusion applications, although fission related tritium experience is also included. The base of fission experience and the dual role of facilities and personnel and close links with industry have been important factors for the program. The fusion tritium program covers a number of diverse topics. Work is summarized on fuel systems, breeding blankets, first wall and safety. A discussion is included of both recent results and work in progress.
