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 REDEP computer-code-analysis has been performed for the transport, ionization, and redeposition of physically sputtered material in the boundary regions of the FED/INTOR tokamak. The analysis was performed for TiC as a candidate coating material for the bottom limiter and the divertor plate. This analysis provides the first assessment of the influence of preferential sputtering of TiC on sputter erosion and redeposition. The results indicate that at high edge temperatures, the different transport properties of the constituents causes significant differences in both the erosion and redeposition rates for the elemental constituents carbon and titanium. At low plasma edge temperatures, ≲ 50 eV, TiC is marginally acceptable, having a high gross erosion rate but a fairly low net rate.
