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.”

Hydrogen retention property on isotropic graphite was studied by exposure with a high flux atomized D/T particles. From the analysis of thermal desorption spectra it is clarified that deuterium implanted to graphite existed in two different states, one was that in a trap site the other was that of C-D bond. The amount of deuterium retained in graphite was in proportion to a half power of total incident fluence and no saturation was observed up to 1026 atoms·m−2. The total hydrogen isotope retention in the sample exposed to atomized D/T particles with total incident fluence of 1025 – 1026 atoms·m−2 were in the range of 1 × 1022−4 × 1022 atoms·m−2.1Visiting researcher from Toshiba Co.
