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.”

Detailed three-dimensional neutronics calculations have been performed for the U.S. design of the ITER magnet shield. The total nuclear heating in the TF coils is 35 kW in the technology phase and 42 kW in the physics phase. Using 5 cm thick W back shield layers behind the vacuum vessel in locations with limited shielding space results in acceptable local magnet damage levels. The parts of the TF coils adjacent to the divertor vacuum pumping ducts are well protected against streaming radiation.
