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 natural transmutation or decay process is governed by a system of ordinary differential equations known as Bateman equations. When the chain involves different decay branches, solutions to the Bateman equations can be complex. In our recent studies, we have developed a set of algorithms for accurately computing multinuclide decays. These algorithms have been implemented as a prototype software platform named Decay Interaction Visualization and Analysis (DIVA) for supporting multinuclide decay calculation, visualization, and analysis.
