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.”

BUCKY and ZEUS-2D are two radiation hydrodynamics codes under development at the University of Wisconsin for the simulation of the behavior of high energy density plasmas found in ICF targets and target chambers. The ZEUS-2D code was originally developed at the National Center for Supercomputer Applications. BUCKY is a 1-D Lagrangian code which models many physical phenomena. Verification of these models in BUCKY with experiments is in progress. ZEUS-2D is a 2-D Eulerian radiation magnetohydrodynamics code written for astrophysical applications. It contains relatively simple radiation physics models which are being enhanced by implementing models from the BUCKY code.
