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.”

A high resolution thermoelectric vacuum calorimeter for tritium measurements is described in detail. The results and experience gained during the measurement of different tritium samples with the vacuum calorimeter as well as comparisons with measurements from other calorimeters are presented. Special specimens have been cut to fit within the measuring volume of 0.5 litre. With the low detection limit of the vacuum calorimeter, tritium in tiles can now be measured by calorimetry for the first time.
