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 Center for Electromechanics at The University of Texas at Austin (CEM-UT) has designed, built, and is now testing a full torus, single-turn magnet designed to produce 20 Tesla (T) on-axis. The Ignition Technology Demonstration (ITD) as it is called is a 0.06 scale Texas Ignition Experiment (IGNITEX) toroidal field (TF) magnet prototype. The purpose of the ITD program is to demonstrate the operation of a 20 T, single-turn TF coil powered by homopolar generators (HPGs). To date the prototype TF magnet has produced a purely toroidal, on-axis field of 15.0 T without an axial preload.
