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 plasma diagnostic technique for simultaneous measurements of internal magnetic fields, ion temperature, and plasma potential is described. This technique consists of the injection of a 120-keV, 5-mA (current equivalent) neutral xenon beam into a magnetized plasma and the detection of radiation and xenon ions, which result from interaction of xenon atoms with hydrogen ions. This system is shown to be particularly suitable for devices like the Princeton Large Torus and other mainline machines.
