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.”

Adsorption and desorption of D2O or H2O, as a simulator of HTO, on iron surface covered with thin iron oxide film were studied by thermal desorption (TD), electron stimulated desorption (ESD), photon stimulated desorption (PSD), X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). When the iron was heated under constant heating rate (5K/min), adsorbed D2O was desorbed around 400K and 600K. Adsorbed D2O which could not be desorbed by heating to 773K could be desorbed by irradiation with photon or bombardment with electron.
