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.”

A complimentary webinar for ANS members. Hosted by ANS's Communications Committee.
The global demand for clean and reliable power has driven the globalization of nuclear technology. 10CFR810 (or Part 810) is a regulation borne from the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (as amended), Section 57b, which describes the authority of the US Secretary of Energy to authorize technology transfer for nuclear technologies which may produce fissile material. A typical Light Water Reactor (LWR) produces plutonium during a normal depletion, so the scope of Part 810 has been applied to the international LWR new plant market. The regulation is currently undergoing rulemaking to update, clarify, and modernize it. This session will describe the scope of 10CFR810, the rulemaking that is in process, and how ANS is engaged in providing industry guidance on compliance with 10CFR810.
