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.”

Nickel-doped F82H alloys have been fabricated to simulate He production due to fusion neutrons in fission reactor irradiation. 1.2Ni and 1.4Ni alloys were tempered at 750°C without re-austenitisation. Expected He production in 1.4% Ni alloy irradiated in HFIR target position is about 400 appm at 40 dpa. Results of tensile and Charpy impact tests of these alloys show that their mechanical properties are similar to those of original F82H, although 0.2% proof stresses of Ni-doped alloys were 50 Mpa smaller than that of F82H. Small amount of two isotope tailored alloys including 1.4wt% Ni are also prepared using 58Ni and 60Ni. Chemical analyses and Charpy impact tests of the mock-up heat suggest that the fabrication of these small heats was successful.
