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.”

Nonlinear electromagnetic waves generated due to the injection of high-power electromagnetic waves relating to an electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) are investigated in the GAMMA10 tandem-mirror fusion device and the QT-Upgrade laboratory device. In the GAMMA10 device, an electrostatic wave in the ion-cyclotron range of frequencies is observed around a west barrier region. During the barrier and plug electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECH), the nonlinear electromagnetic waves with the interval of the frequency corresponding to the electrostatic fluctuation are radiated from the plug region. In the QT-Upgrade laboratory device, on the other hand, the injected microwave nonlinearly interacts with an electrostatic drift-wave instability. These results in the GAMMA10 and the QT-Upgrade devices indicate the radiation of the electromagnetic waves originating from the parametric instability.
