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.”

Disruption erosion tests on La2O3 containing and pure tungsten materials were performed by the electron beam irradiation facility. As a result, it was found that the disruption erosion of La2O3 – W evaluated from the weight loss was three times larger than that of pure – W. The surface observations suggest that the splashing of the melted layer during the electron beam irradiation occurs only for the La2O3 – W, which results in the larger weight loss in disruption erosion. This is considered to be due to the lower melting point of the added La2O3.
