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.”

A novel high-power (10 MW) sub-millisecond electron beam is developed for injection into the open (linear) plasma devices. The beam is produced by extraction of electrons from a plasma of pulsed arc discharge in hydrogen. The beam is extracted and accelerated with multiaperture diode-type electron optical system with 241 small round apertures, which are arranged in a hexagon-al pattern. The injector prototype was installed into the end plasma tank of GOL-3 multiple mirror trap and tested to produce an electron beam with up to 100 keV electron energy, about 100 A total beam current and 0.7 ms or longer pulse duration. In a series of preliminary experiments the electron beam was injected into the GOL-3 plasma chamber filled with deuterium gas with a density of 1014-1015cm-3 and transported in a corrugated magnetic field (〈B〉 up to 1.4 T) along the trap at a distance of 12 m.
