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.”

Experiments on separation of the exhaust gas from fusion reactors by using a Continuous Circulation Chromatograph method ( C3 method ) have been performed for use in a fuel cycle of the fusion reactor. In these experiments, a molecular-sieve was selected for the adsorbent material. And, H2/He, D2/He mixed gases and Ar were used as the sample gases and the carrier gas, respectively. It was confirmed that the mixed gases with various composition ratios were continuously separated to each gas composition at a room temperature and below an atmospheric pressure, within a detectable limit of the quadrupole mass spectrometer we used. This separation method can be applied to the D2-T2/He mixed gas and simplify the fusion fuel cycle, where the He and other impurities are directly removed from the plasma exhaust gas within a vacuum pumping system.
