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.”

To complete basic configuration for the RF heating scenario in Central Cell of the Hanbit mirror device, a RF amplifier system with a power of 100 kW and frequency range of 1.4 – 4.0 MHz, and a high power RF matching network have been developed in KBSI. The output pulse width of the amplifier ranges from 10 msec to 100 msec and the duty cycle is 100 msec/300 sec. The developed amplifier will be used for plasma production and heating by utilizing the slot antenna and the double-half-turn antenna, respectively.
In this paper, we present the engineering design of the amplifier system and matching network, and experimental results such as power test of amplifier on dummy load, impedance matching test on the double-half-turn antenna in vacuum condition. Also, the first RF launching experiment result with the double-half-turn antenna on the target plasma which is produced by the slot antenna is presented.
