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.”

Alfven-interchange modes in the Gas-dynamic trap (GDT) are observed to be stable under some unusual conditions, namely when the external stabilizing expander areas are turned off, i.e. are configured to have a low stabilizing curvature. We derive and study the equation that describes these modes in presence of the differential rotation and FLR effects. It turns out that though complete stabilization of interchange modes due to these effects is unlikely, the characteristic growth rates and radial extent of perturbations and, hence, the associated anomalous transport are reduced.
