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.”

Measures that provide high reliability and safety of inertial fusion energy (IFE) and hybrid power plants in seismic areas are considered. These measures are related mainly to the choice of liquid materials and the optimization of the designs of drivers and thermonuclear targets. It is shown that during usual operation of IFE and hybrid power plants fast ignition scenarios with the attempts to create two hot spots in one blob of compressed fuel can be expedient.
