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.”

Neutral beam injection into CIT is discussed. Monte Carlo methods are used to evaluate available windows of operating density and beam energies. The beam deposition profile is determined for a wide range of parameters. The effects of the excitation enhanced ionization cross section have been studied, both with and without impurities. Enhanced ionization processes and impurities are found to prevent the penetration of 300 keV deuterium beams. Requirements for low energy beam injection are determined. In order to utilize the TFTR power supplies (300 kV maximum), it is necessary to inject hydrogen beams.
