Industry Update—August 2025
Here is a recap of industry happenings from the recent past:
SMR service center targeted for Ontario
GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy has announced plans to invest as much as $50 million to establish a Canadian BWRX-300 Engineering and Service Center near Ontario Power Generation’s Darlington New Nuclear Project site. The Ontario government had previously approved the construction of the first of four BWRX-300 small modular reactors at the site. The center will provide engineering and technical services for the long-term operation and maintenance of the future fleet of SMRs in Ontario. It will also serve as a hub for innovation and training, knowledge sharing, supply chain engagement, and workforce development.

The advanced adjoint approach for arbitrary collisionalities with momentum conservation in the like-particle collision is considered. The results are generally applicable for the parallel conductivity as well as for current drive calculations. In addition, the weakly relativistic extension of the variational principle for the Spitzer function with momentum conservation in the electron-electron collision is described. The models developed are well suited to ray-tracing calculations.
