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.”

The behavior of ions confined by means of quadrupolar electrodynamic containment around palladium lattice tetrahedral sites is discussed. Ion confinement in a quadrupolar trap is known to be strongly influenced by initial conditions and trap parameters. The system studied is a lattice ion trap for deuterons, supposing they occupy the tetrahedral sites over a certain concentration. The electron motions seem to have a dominant role in the dynamics of two deuterons moving around such lattice sites. A computer simulation describes the deuteron dynamics and reveals an approach mechanism that could dramatically decrease the mean distance between two positive charges embedded in a lattice.
