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.”

ZTH is a reversed field pinch, magnetically confined fusion experiment which is under construction at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. Construction began in October 1985, and will be completed in late 1992 or early 1993. ZTH will provide information about the physics and engineering operation of a plasma confinement alternative to the tokamak, which has the potential for development into a compact reactor system. The following discussion will give the reader: a general overview of ZTH and its supporting equipment, a brief indication of the present status of construction and an indication of future activities.
