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.”

This paper shows that the design improvement of the ECH antenna system for high efficient heating of GAMMA 10 tandem mirror plasma. The previous ECH antenna was not large enough to cover the microwave because it was limited by the port size. New antenna system clears this limit and is enlarged as large as possible. And its size becomes twice, which enables to inject the microwave with the efficiency up to 95%. It is about 20% increase as compared with the previous system.
