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 experimental assembly to simulate ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) shield has been established, which was the combination of a sphere of 70 cm in diameter and a cylinder-shell of 35 × 35 cm made of alternating multi-layers of iron and water. The measurements of the absolute reaction rates, the angular neutron flux spectra, and the neutron leakage spectrum without the extended cylinder have been carried out.
