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.”

For diagnostics of confined and escaping particles in burning plasma, we have proposed to apply the measurements of the gamma rays from D(,)6Li and 19F(,n)22Na nuclear reactions and verified the validity to the diagnostics by accelerator experiments. From our experiments, we obtained the properties of the emitted gamma rays and some prospects for the diagnostics on ITER-like plasma based on their measurements. This paper discusses the spectrum properties of the emitted gamma rays and their applications to particles diagnostics.
