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.”

We propose an optical sensing based neutron streak camera for ICF burn studies. The conversion of the neutron flux to optical signal is gained through measuring the time dependent optical attenuation (darkening) of a fissile material doped fiber optics. The miniature sensor enables a sensing distance of > 2 cm from the target, such that the neutron doppler broadening can be neglected. An additional major advantage over the current designs is that the streak camera is removed from the intense radiation field. Estimates of minimum yield requirements, darkening time response, and overall temporal resolution are presented.
