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 main problem to manufacture the superconducting helical coil for the heliotron fusion reactor is to develop an easily demountable joint of superconductor. We have designed an “Inserting Method” joint for this purpose and measured the contact resistance at liquid helium temperature and the tensile strength of the joint at liquid nitrogen temperature. We have confirmed the possibility to apply the “Inserting Method” joint to the superconducting demountable helical coil.
