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 ion cyclotron range of frequencies antenna design for the R tokamak (a proposal by the Institute of Plasma Physics, Nagoya University) is described. The design involves three types of antennas: a standard loop antenna, a panel heater antenna, and a waveguide antenna for ion Bernstein wave heating (IBWH). The standard loop antenna is made of aluminum alloy and has a simple structure because it has to be installed under radioactive conditions by deuterium-tritium neutrons. A new type of antenna called a panel heater antenna has been designed for high-power heating. It has a wide radiation area and is able to select a parallel wave number k‖. The feasibility of the waveguide antenna is also discussed in association with IBWH. The radiation from the aperture of the double ridge waveguide is estimated in a model experiment, where calculated surface plasma impedance is simulated by a dielectric load.
