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.”

Ion exchange on a potassium-exchanged natural zeolite at various temperatures is examined. The ions studied were cesium and cobalt, and the contact temperatures were 25, 60, and 100°C. The main focus of the work was to examine the use of natural zeolite as a direct means for the removal of radioactive contaminants. It was found that cesium was more selectively sorbed than cobalt and that higher amounts of both cations were taken up as the temperature of contact increased. The raw data could be correlated using a Brunauer-Emmett-Teller-type isotherm. The ion exchange equilibrium constants and activity of the sorbing ion on the zeolite were used in correlating the data. An Arrhenius behavior was suggested.
