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 TFTR facility has recently undergone modifications that increase the auxiliary heating capability by the addition of 9 MW of ion cyclotron frequency heating power. In addition, one of the neutral injection beam lines has been reoriented to provide balanced injection capability at full power (27 MW). Results from experiments with this new capability are presented. The TFTR program calls for the initiation of D-T breakeven experiments in the 1990–1991 time frame; additional shielding, tritium neutral beams and reliability upgrades are all prerequisites for the D-T experiments. The planning for this D-T preparation program is discussed.
