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.”

Isotherms are presented for adsorption of H2O(g) on LiAlO2 at 573, 623, and 873K together with isotherms reported earlier for 673 and 773K. From these data, isobars and isosteres were derived. Analysis of the data suggests that two adsorption processes are involved: physisorption at 573K and below, and chemisorption at 873K and above. Both processes function in the intervening temperature range. Corrections were applied to the raw adsorption data, which were obtained by the breakthrough technique, for postbreakthrough uptake of H2O(g). Adsorption on non-BET surfaces is believed to be involved in these corrections for the lower temperature isotherms.
