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.”

Neutron fluence-to-organ dose conversion coefficients (DCCs) were calculated for a Reference Korean-adjusted male voxel model, HDRK-Man, for some standard irradiation geometries of external neutron beams using the Monte Carlo radiation transport code MCNPX. The calculated values were compared with those for other models. The results show that HDRK-Man provides consistent results for the DCC values considering the differences in the voxel models.
