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.”

A prototype ohmic heating coil for the proposed Spherical Torus Experiment (STX) has been designed, fabricated, and successfully tested to 16 T, well above its design operating field and stress levels. The conductor material was Glidcop Al-15 with a copper tube for water cooling soldered into a groove. The magnet winding inner and outer radii were 7.5 cm and 14.2 cm, respectively, and the axial length was 48 cm. The magnet heated to approximately 90°C during a pulse and was cooled within 2 min. All design and performance goals were met or exceeded.
