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.”

One of the critical issues in the development of Breeding Blankets for the Fusion Demonstration Reactor, DEMO, is the tritium control, particularly in the coolant and the tritium extraction system. To be able to understand and model the tritium behaviour and releases through various interfaces, a code is being developed, following the same approach as for Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactors (LMFBRs) for which an efficient tool is already available: KUTIM, here described The new model proposed for fusion purposes will contribute to compare and choose means to reduce the tritium releases and more generally will be a support for design activities for Breeding Blankets.
