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 scaled ZrCo bed ( 25 g tritium capacity of design ) with gas flowing calorimetry system was fabricated to establish the “in-bed” tritium accounting technology to apply to the ITER tritium storage beds. The basic calorimetric characteristics, steady state temperature raise of He gas stream flowing through a secondary coil line fixed in the ZrCo tritide, was measured and correlated with power input by heater to simulate tritium decay heat or with actual tritium storage. The target accuracy is 1 % which means to measure +− 1 gram (0.32 watt) of tritium on 100 g storage. The results shows the good accounting function that the temperature increases of He stream of 4.7 and 96.8 degrees were measured under power input of 0.32 and 8.0 watts, respectively, with good reproducibility. These “in-bed” tritium accounting function was well demonstrated storing a gram level of tritium gas within a few days.
