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.”

Since carbon deposition layers in tokamak devices will contain significant amount of tritium, it is important to study its formation mechanism. In this study, tungsten and molybdenum samples with a temperature gradient were irradiated by a mixed ion beam to precisely study temperature dependence of the deposition characteristics. For molybdenum, the temperature of the boundary between "deposition" and "nodeposition" is higher than W. This results roughly agree with the results by the material mixing model proposed by Kriegeretal [K. Krieger. J. Roth. J. of Nucl. Mater. 290-293 (2003) 107.]. Erosion yield of C deposition layer in our experimental conditions was almost equal or less than the yield by Rothmodel [J. Roth, C. Garcia-Rosales, Nucl. Fusion 36 (1996) 1647] for graphite.
