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 novel formulation of the problem of boundedness and stability of the power level of a nuclear reactor describable by a nonlinear model is presented. A sufficient criterion for boundedness and stability is derived and proved to be equivalent to the criterion suggested by Welton. The criterion is illustrated by means of two examples.
