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 DITE tokamak has a bundle divertor capable of operating in the maximum toroidal field of 2.7 T. A scanning infrared camera with a framing rate of 50 f.p.s. has been used to determine the power and power density at the divertor target. For discharges with 1.4 MW of neutral injection, peak diverted powers of nearly 400 kW were observed during the neutral injection period, representing 24% of the total input power. Power densities on the ion drift side of the target of up to 30 MW m−2 were measured for these discharges. Discharges without neutral injection show a maximum power diversion when the gas puffing is switched off.
