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.”

Calculations using analytical formulations of the pertinent muon catalyzed fusion reactions in deuterium-tritium fuel compressed up to 100 times liquid hydrogen density indicate that more than 800 fusions could be catalyzed per muon. The possibility of muon catalyzed fusion triggered ignition of deuterium-tritium targets is also considered. Conceivable system configurations and density-temperature effects on various muon reaction processes are discussed.
