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.”

An axisymmetric tandem mirror system should possess many advantages over conventional tandem-mirror systems. The Kinetic Stabilizer Tandem Mirror (k-S T-M) represents one possible way to MHD-stabilize such systems. However, to design such systems requires the simultaneous satisfaction of MHD stabilization conditions and the constraints of technological feasibility and acceptable power demands This paper reviews the basic requirements for a K-S T-M and discusses various technological approaches for meeting those requirements.
