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.”

Design studies on the superconducting helical coil of Heliotron G reactor are reported. Neither demountable nor modular helical coil system was adopted. The continuous helical coil with the cryostat is constructed in a body with a plasma vacuum vessel. Three design examples will be described. For pool boiling and forced flow cooled types, single-layered coil is proposed so as to ensure the reliability of the insulation and of the helical winding. Large current conductors are designed. For superfluid bath cooled type, a conductor available in the present stage is used and multi-layered coil is designed.
