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.”

Recent achievements in the pellet implosion include the generation of 1013 neutrons per shot and 10 keV plasma with stagnation free mode compression, and the high density compression up to 600 times solid density with plastic shell pellet implosion. Based on the present data base, we are now confident in achieving ignition and high gain using sufficient driver energy. The reactor design study and the development of the reactor driver have become important in order to demonstrate the feasibility of the fusion energy by ICF.
