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.”

Abnormal flows such as an entrainment or an overflow have been restricted severely in the design and operation of the solvent extraction process. The effect of the abnormal flows on the process has been studied for a PUREX flow sheet to find a way to manage their unfavorable effects on the process. As one of these activities, the algebraic equation expressing the concentration of the outflow by the operational conditions for a countercurrent solvent extraction system with the existence of abnormal flows was derived. This equation was the expanded form of the conventional Kremser's equation, which has been applied to the flow sheet under normal conditions. The preliminary study using the equation is also shown.
