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.”

The presence of impurities could affect the results observed in pure Ni. In particular, impurities could interact with self-interstitial atoms, which are highly mobile, effectively reducing their mobility. In this work we study the influence of the mobility of self-interstitials on He desorption. The nucleation of He-vacancy complexes is studied depending on the mobility of these self-interstitials in terms of He to vacancy content as well as concentration of these complexes.
