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.”

Two kinds of tunable coherent photons for positronium formation and annihilation can be generated by coalescing focused, high-intensity e and e+ beams which are accelerated in the same direction. Positronium formation can be enhanced by laser irradiation or by installing an undulator magnetic field in cases where the density of e and e+ plasma is not high. In the case of very high density, slender rod-type geometry plasma, positronium can be formed by super-radiant, superfluorescence, or amplified, spontaneous emission processes, and a coherent laser can be generated.
