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.”

We propose to use dispersion interferometer for measurement of plasma density and control of plasma position on present and future fusion devices. Distinguishing feature of this scheme is probing of plasma on two wavelengths. Short-wave radiation is formed by method of frequency fundamental radiation doubling. Probing first and second harmonics rays are combined spatially at the same time. It allows to create interferometer which is sensitive only to dispersion of studied medium and weakly sensitive to vibration of optical elements. Designs of the optical system dispersion interferometer and results of plasma density measurements on GDT mirror and TEXTOR tokamak are presented.
