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.”

The thermal probe method is capable of measuring ion temperature using the heat flow from plasma (Qplasma) versus the bias voltage (Vp) characteristic. Considering the heat transition phenomenon in the probe, we designed the thermal probe in order to obtain the Qplasma-Vp as well as the Ip-Vp characteristics. We performed a preliminary experiment of the thermal probe measurement in the divertor simulator MAP-II, and discuss the results and the assignments of the thermal probe method.
