BWXT announces nuclear manufacturing plant expansion
BWX Technologies announced today plans to expand and add advanced manufacturing equipment to its manufacturing plant in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada.
A $36.3 million USD ($50M CAD) expansion will increase the plant’s size by 25 percent—to 280,000 square feet—and another $21.7 million USD ($30M CAD) will be spent on new equipment to increase and accelerate its output of large nuclear components. The investment will increase capacity and create more than 200 long-term jobs for skilled workers, engineers, and support staff, according to the company.

Possibility of helical device as a high current electron source by utilizing a new method of runaway electrons extraction has been investigated. Magnetic force lines of the helical system with extraction coils and electron orbits in the given magnetic configuration have been calculated to design an experimental device for demonstrate electrons extracting from the helical device. Numerical results show it can be made.
