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 analysis of possibilities to obtain high efficiency energy production in D-3He fusion plasma is carried out. Ranges of parameters (temperature, beta, magnetic field, helium-3 value) are studied from viewpoint of the efficiency of D-3He, and related fusion fuel cycles. Production of 3He in the branch of D-D reaction for D-3He cycle is considered, and corresponding catalyzed D-D cycles are studied. Estimations of required parameters of cylindrical magnetic reactor based on field reversed configuration (FRC) are presented for D-3He and catalyzed D-D cycles, and compared with the requirements for D-T fuel.
