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.”

In JT-60U divertor plasmas, deuterium Balmer-series line emission has been measured with a wide-spectral-band spectrometer, which has 92 viewing chords with a ~1cm spatial resolution. Two-dimensional spatial distribution of the Balmer line intensities has been reconstructed using a computer tomography technique (maximum entropy method). In an inner-detached and outer-attached divertor plasma, the intensity of D and D lines were stronger above the strike point in the inner divertor and near the strike point in the outer divertor. The ratio of the D line intensity to the D line intensity was 0.3 - 0.5 above the strike point in the inner divertor and 0 - 0.2 near the strike point in the outer divertor. It suggested that the line emission were attributed to the plasma recombination above the strike point in the inner divertor and the plasma ionization near the strike point in the outer divertor.
