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.”

A non-linear, inelastic stress analysis code, developed at the McDonnell Douglas Astronautics Company (MDAC), was modified to incorporate irradiation effects in the analysis of stress histories within fusion reactor structural components. This code calculates stresses and strains due to temperature gradients, thermal creep, irradiation creep, and differential swelling as a function of neutron wall load and fluence.
