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.”

When fullerene negative ions are locally produced in a magnetized plasma consisting of electrons and potassium positive ions, a negative-ion-driven drift wave (NDDW) is destabilized by the density gradient and strong radially outward diffusion of negative ions is observed nearby the local production region. The correlation between the diffusion coefficient and the NDDW amplitude gives support to an interpretation that NDDW is responsible for the enhanced diffusion.
