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.”

In the GAMMA10 tandem mirror, ion cyclotron range of frequency (ICRF) waves are effectively used for the plasma production and heating. Alfvén ion cyclotron (AIC) modes are spontaneously excited due to the strong heating. Stability boundary for the AIC modes is analyzed by introducing the effective mirror ratio. It is shown that the AIC modes become more unstable with smaller mirror ratio. The pitch angle scattering of the high energy ions due to the AIC mode are clearly observed.
