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.”

The effect of wall conditioning on a plasma was studied in the Gas Dynamic Trap (GDT) facility by means of titanium coating of the containment wall. After depositing titanium on the inner surface of the vacuum chamber the charge-exchange losses of the fast ions turned out to be much less than in former, non-conditioned discharges. The temporal and spatial variation of the neutral gas density was measured during typical shots and calculated by means of a Monte Carlo transport code. The comparison of the results numerical simulation with the experimental data are presented.
