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 14 MeV neutron transport in spherical iron assemblies is analyzed on the basis of different computational procedures and new double-differential 56Fe cross-sections (DDX) from the ENDF/B-VI and EFF-2 data files. Comparisons with existing integral 14 MeV neutron experiments and with calculations using uncorrected energy-angle distributions show significant improvements due to the inclusion of DDX-data in the recent fusion-oriented data files. Further analyses are required as the total neutron leakages measured in the referenced integral experiments still are underestimated.
