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.”

An improved method for Monte Carlo simulation is described to calculate the neutral-particle transport in a divertor throat and to evaluate the helium removal efficiency from a burning plasma. The required pumping speed for the helium removal is discussed with special emphasis placed on the efferts of long exhausting duct and of scrape-off plasma variables. The analysis for International Tokamak Reactor (INTOR) single null divertor suggests a possibility that the pumping requirement for INTOR could be drastically eased—e.g., <104 l/s, for the high scrape-off plasma density of the order of 1013 cm-3.
