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.”

The conceptual designs of the supplemental heating systems for a tenth of a kind, commercial tandem mirror reactor have been developed. A high power ECRH system at 60GHz maintains the thermal barrier in each endcell and a second low power system at 71GHz increases the magnitude of the potential peak. The sloshing ion distribution in the plug is produced by a 475KeV negative ion neutral beam. An ICRH system provides a hot plasma in the anchor region for pressure weighting of the geodesic curvature, thus ensuring stability.
