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 halo plasma scraper for a tandem mirror reactor collects the particles and power that enter the halo in the central cell. A thermal-structural design is presented for a water-cooled copper collector that sustains 40 MW loading. A vacuum system design is presented for a conductance channel and pump configuration to remove the halo particles at a designated gas pressure.
