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.”

An analysis of benchmark experiment on iron for D-T neutrons with JENDL Fusion File and FENDL/E-1.1 suggested that neutron flux above 10 MeV in iron, was underestimated monotonously with depth. Reasons of this underestimation were investigated through various analyses by DORT3.1 with JENDL Fusion Füe, FENDL/E-1.1 and FENDL/E-2.0. The followings for evaluated cross section data on iron around 15 MeV were considered to be possible origins of underestimation of neutron flux above 10 MeV.
1. JENDL Fusion File: Elastic scattering cross sections for forward angles were smaller. Angle-integrated cross section data of (n,2n) and (n,np) reactions were larger.
2. FENDL/E-1.1: Elastic scattering cross sections for forward angles were smaller.
3. FENDL/E-2.0: Angle-integrated cross section data of inelastic scattering and (n,np) reaction were larger.
