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.”

Technical Paper | D-3He/Fusion Reactor | doi.org/10.13182/FST92-A30059
Articles are hosted by Taylor and Francis Online.
The importance of D-3He reactor development in the attainment of attractive fusion energy is discussed. In addition to D-3He plasma physics and confinement issues, the use of low-activation wall materials and commercial production of 3He are vital issues for the successful achievement of a D-3He energy economy. These issues are discussed, and D-3He reactor features contrasted to deuterium-tritium and fission reactors.
