Advancing Clean Energy: Ontario’s Darlington New Nuclear Project and the BWRX-300 Small Modular Reactor
April 1 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Ontario Power Generation’s Darlington New Nuclear Project (DNNP) is at the forefront of deploying Small Modular Reactor (SMR) technology in Canada, anchored by the GE Vernova Hitachi BWRX-300. As North America’s first commercial, grid-scale SMR, DNNP plans up to four units totaling 1,200 MW. The project introduces advanced safety features, including natural circulation cooling, integral isolation valves, and passive heat removal, while supporting thousands of jobs and boosting Ontario’s economy. A collaboration between OPG, GE Vernova Hitachi, AtkinsRéalis, and Aecon-Kiewit, DNNP strengthens Ontario’s clean energy leadership and sets a model for SMR deployment globally. With construction underway, DNNP will help meet rising electricity demand, advance electrification, and deliver reliable, carbon-free power, showcasing nuclear innovation’s vital role in climate action and economic <a href="http://growth.
