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 precise hydrogen permeation experiment for beryllium was conducted at a temperature ranging from 735 to 1000 K under hydrogen gas pressure of 101 to 103 Pa. Diffusion coefficient and permeation coefficient were determined from the steady state penneation and time transient penneation independently. The steady state penneation rate was proportional to the square root of H2 pressure and the time sequence of penneation rate agreed well with theoretical one, indicating that the penneation controlled by bulk diffusion. The temperature dependencies of the penneation coefficients (Φ) and diffusion coefficients (D) were respectively,Φ=(1.0±0.1)×10−6exp[−73±20(kJ/mol)/RT] (mol·m−1·s−1·Pa1/2),D=(1.3±0.1)×10−7exp[59±20(kJ/mol)/RT] (m2·s−1).Solubility calculated from the relation Φ=DS wasS=7.1 exp[−14(kJ/mol)/RT] (mol·m−3·Pa−1/2).
