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 essential physical phenomena that will occur in Inertial Fusion Energy (IFE) reactors can be studied in a facility where the driver energy and target yield are reduced. The Integrated Test Facility (ITF) will study reactor relevant phenomena affecting drivers, beam transport, targets, and target chambers. The target chambers for reactors and the ITF could be designed using any one of several target chamber concepts. This paper involves the comparison, with computer simulation, of the phenomena occurring in the target chambers of three power reactor concepts (OSIRIS, HYLIFE-II, and CASCADE) with that occurring in ITF target chambers using the same design concept.
