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.”

It is found that flowing liquid Pb83Li17 eutectic can be used as both tritium breeder and blanket coolant in fusion reactors with high-power densities and strong transverse magnetic fields provided the channel walls are rendered electrically insulated, either by use of a nonconducting material or with a nonconducting coating over a metallic material. Examples are given for the Ohmically Heated Toroidal Experiment, STARFIRE, and Riggatron fusion reactor conceptual designs.
