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 objective of the 1992–93 shutdown has been the installation of a pumped divertor inside of the JET vacuum vessel. Apart from the divertor components, comprising four poloidal field coils, a cryopump, and a new target structure. The belt limiters and continuous inner wall have been replaced by poloidal limiters, there is a completely new design of RF antenna, and a system of internal actively controlled saddle coils for disruption feedback stabilisation has been installed. External to the vessel there have also been some major updates to the hardware and plasma control systems, with a new fast radial field amplifier for vertical stabilisation, and a decoupling control scheme for the poloidal circuits. The as-built status of the plant and some results of the initial operation are described.
