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 low aspect ratio tokamak device has been designed and constructed in University of Tokyo. A cylindrical vacuum vessel is employed. The vessel is divided toroidally into two parts insulated each other. In the vessel, central core composed of ohmic coils and a part of toroidal coils is installed. The aluminum shell is installed to keep the vertical and horizontal equilibrium of the plasma. As the result of several efforts to lower the aspect ratio, the predicted minimum value of the aspect ratio reaches less than 1.2. The predicted advantage of low aspect ratio tokamaks is verified by simulation. The analysis of MHD activities and fluctuations will be carried out, after the assembly is completed.
