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.”

We have assessed the capability of the international fusion program to provide the physics data needed to support a decision to proceed with the construction of ITER in 1996–1997. We conclude that the international fusion program has the capability to provide the data, but that additional emphasis is needed in two areas, power and particle control and disruptions, for the required data to be available by 1996.
