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 possibility of burn control by hydrogen feeding was investigated for tokamak plasma under a self-sustained condition. When fusion power shifts higher than a target value, increases in hydrogen feed rate can lower the power by a reduction in ion temperature due to enhanced hydrogen density. Conversely, when the power shifts lower than the target, stopping hydrogen feeding and exhaust can increase the power through an increase in ion temperature due to reduced hydrogen density. Especially in the latter, in order to enlarge the recoverable magnitude of power shift, it is necessary to select a self-sustained condition having the highest hydrogen density. The results confirmed the possibility of burn control by hydrogen feeding.
