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.”

The ATHENA code is being developed by EG&G Idaho as a general purpose thermal hydraulics code for safety transient analysis of fusion reactors. This report documents the use of ATHENA to model a lithium-lead cooled fusion reactor design. The code models the MHD effects resulting from the flow of a conducting fluid through a strong steady magnetic field. The code performed well within the range of available lithium-lead properties. The results from calculations of several operational transients and a loss of pumping power are reported.
