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 properties of the scrape-off layer (SOL) determine both the particle removal as well as the power exhaust. The particle flows in the SOL and their radial decay give constraints for the construction of the main plasma facing components, pump limiters and divertors. Both systems allow for an adequate particle and power removal option.
