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.”

High-magnetic-field, toroidal deuterium-tritium plasmas can have a “window” of accessibility to lower hybrid radio-frequency heating at moderate frequency. As an example, lower hybrid waves at 8 GHz are shown to penetrate most of the way into subignited and ignited Ignitor plasmas at full density and magnetic field, using a one-dimensional transport and ray-tracing code. Better heating of the plasma interior is obtained by launching from a negative poloidal angle relative to the horizontal midplane.
