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 computer code PRAGAMAN has been developed for numerical simulation of electrotransport during molten salt electrorefining of spent metallic fuels. The code is based on the thermodynamic equilibriums among pairs of elements and their chlorides that exist at the anode-electrolyte salt and cathode-electrolyte salt interfaces. It uses nonlinear and linear equations to arrive at real solutions for all 16 possible conditions that could be envisaged with respect to the solubilities of U and Pu at the anode and cathode. It can handle the electrotransport of eight elements representing typical actinides, minor actinides, and fission products, as well as potential dependent electrotransport of U and Pu.
