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.”

Edge plasma behavior was observed by fast camera at high density central-cell plasma in GAMMA 10. The plasma performance was better when the plasma rotated clockwise to the magnetic field. Also, when the interaction with the central-cell limiter was observed, the plasma stored energy was deteriorated. These results were very similar that of high potential central-cell plasma experiment as previously reported. Several rotation mechanisms exist, and on the empirical basis it is suggested the interaction with the central-cell limiter is important.
