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 United States Department of Energy and the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI) have installed a full-scale fuel cleanup system (JFCU) at the Los Alamos Tritium Systems Test Assembly (TSTA) for testing. A component in the JFCU, the Ceramic Electrolysis Cell (CEC), was observed to have an internal leak after approximately one year of intermittent tests. This paper describes the experience of removal, decontamination and disassembly of this full-scale component.
