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 review of ICRF heating experiments on tokamaks is presented. This method of radio frequency heating has proven to be efficacious and has been projected as a viable method for future machines such as INTOR and CIT. ICRF heating experiments on JET, ASDEX, TEXTOR, and JT-60 are part of an ongoing program to further understand the physics of the heating process and the physics of tokamak operation with auxiliary heating, particularly the effect on energy confinement.
