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.”

Electrolytic reactor that converts methane and water simultaneously to liberate hydrogen isotopes at very high conversion ratio was developed and tested. Addition of the second zirconia cell provides the capability of processing broad mixing ratio between water and methane by supplying or extracting oxygen. Combination of palladium permeation and electrolytic reactions was tested under reactor relevant tritium concentration in an integrated loop. Satisfactory processing of simulated plasma exhaust processing and tritium recovery was verified. Based on the result, a concept of the fuel processing system for fusion reactor is proposed and discussed.
