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 plasma performance with sawtoothing is assessed for two tokamak reactor experiments, the proposed Tokamak Fusion Core Experiment (TFCX) and the Joint European Torus (JET). TFCX is ignitable with sawtoothing and impurities assuming neo-Alcator plus Gorbunov-Mirnov-Strelkov scalingsfor plasma confinement. JET is also ignitable at optimistically high currents (≥ 7 MA).
