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.”

Articles are hosted by Taylor and Francis Online.
An overview of erosion and deposition processes in fusion machines is presented. The underlying physical and chemical mechanisms are explained. The impact of erosion and deposition on wall lifetime and tritium retention, which define the availability of future fusion machines such as ITER, is discussed. Also, examples of erosion and deposition observed in present fusion experiments are presented.
