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 power deposition and wall material erosion rates due to charge-exchange neutral atoms resulting from a recycling source at limiters in the TEXTOR and Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor tokamaks are reported. The analysis is carried out using a recently developed finite element, two-dimensional toroidal geometry diffusion theory, neutral atom transport theory, and the computer code FENAT. The power deposition and material erosion are highest at the limiter. The first wall suffers very little erosion except for the portion near the limiter.
