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.”

Force-Free Helical Reactor. FFHR. is a conceptual design of helical fusion power reactor. Flibe is chosen as the coolant/ breeding material in this reactor mainly because of safety considerations. Two types of structural materials, i.e. ferritic steel and vanadium alloys were closely examined. Compatibility of these materials with Flibe is one of the largest issues for the selection of materials. It has been concluded that both systems using Flibe as coolant are feasible provided that the chemistry of Flibe is appropriately controlled.
