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.”

In this paper we present the hydrogen diffusivity and solubility in the carbon fibre composite (CFC) SEP N11 with tri-directional fibres structure that is a possible candidate as armour material for plasma facing components (PFC). The technique used for these measurements is a gas evolution method and the measurements were carried out in the temperature range 900 – 1200 K with a loading hydrogen pressure of 100 kPa. The results obtained showed that the Sieverts' constant Ks is of the same order of magnitude as those previously obtained for several graphites, while the diffusivity is about five to six orders of magnitude higher as compared to graphites. Furthermore, CFC presents an endothermic behaviour in contrast to graphites.
