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.”

In order to develop the more compact and more cost-effective tritium removal system for the fusion reactor, the new system of using gas separation membrane has been studied in Tritium Process Laboratory (TPD/Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI). To apply the scaled polyimide membrane module (hollow filament type) to the secondary confinement system, the basic-tritium recovery performance was summarized as a module itself from N2, air, Ar mixture, and recoveral performance was well demonstrated from existing glovebox (1.4 m3 : GB). The tritium recovery performance of the membrane module was well analyzed as a cross flow model, and removal from actual GB results was well simulated by the stand-alone performance data. Using this membrane module performance, new detritiation system was designed for the secondary confinement (GB).
