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.”

A sharp increase in the efficiency of neutron generation is caused by cyclic deuteron accumulator with internal deuteron or beryllium target. In this accumulator, beam of deuterons of constant energy pass through the target many times with ionization energy loss compensated by high frequency electric field. Advantages of deuteron accelerator of 30-100 MeV is due to two factors: On the one hand, the desire to decrease the charged particle energy 10-30 times compared with a traditional electronuclear process plants and, on the other hand, the prospect of producing neutrons within a range of energies of greater interest for fusion studies and for efficiently burning high level nuclear wastes from nuclear power plants.
