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.”

Recent Experiments at the TSTA have demonstrated successful operation of the integrated exhaust gas processing loop. In these experiments the final subsystem, the cryogenic compound pumps, was integrated into the loop. These tests were conducted with a tritium inventory of about 110 g and a processing rate of about 1 kg per day—full scale for a fusion machine such as ITER. The tests demonstrated a workable-exhaust gas processing system which could be used for ITER. Other recent tests include testing on a single shot tritium pellet injector developed and fabricated at ORNL.
