The article discusses how the engineering team of the Ontario Power Generation conceptualized an appropriate water cooling system for its nuclear plant. The utility replaced its old chiller to meet environmental regulations....
The Darlington plant, run by government-owned Ontario Power Generation, was chosen over the privately-operated Bruce nuclear plant because of reportedly limited transmission capacity from Lake Huron to the Toronto area. The plants would be the first new nuclear facilities constructed in Canada since ...
How Nuclear Fusion Will Give Us Limitless Energy New Seawater Electrode Is a Hydrogen Game Changer This Micronuclear Battery Can Run for Decades This Is the Heaviest Antimatter Particle Ever Scientists Found the Secret of Static Electricity
Communities and regions in eastern Ontario that are located near Chalk River have historically expressed concern about nuclear energy and mistrust of the organizations that oversee nuclear activity, particularly communities that have...
Ontario, Wayne County (20 miles NE of Rochester, NY (nearest major city)) R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant 490 Mw PWR/W 310 tons as of 1995. 1969 Making waste 1982 CRAC-2 est. “Worst Case” Casualties: 44,000 Property Damage: $63 Billion Longest-running reactor in the U.S. (Sou...
A non-significant increased risk was found among both men and women, but there was no evidence of sex differences in risk. Conclusion Overall, the findings suggest that living near a nuclear power plant increases the risk of thyroid cancer. The small number of studies on this topic, and the...
The system boundaries encompass four unit-processes: dismantling of electromechanical equipment, clean-up of the structures, demolition of plant buildings, and transport of conventional and radioactive waste (RW). This last unit-process is investigated separately to make a clear comparison of ...
In Canada, nuclear power is highly regulated to ensure it’s used safely and responsibly. A licence is required to construct and operate a nuclear power plant or waste management facility in Canada. For Ontario Power Generation (OPG) to maintain our licences, we must demonstrate that we continu...
In late June, Ontario shelved its plans to construct the province's next generation of nuclear power plants. The government said none of the proposals it had received presented suitable long-term energy costs for the province.rnThe province's plans had called for a two-reactor plant at the ...
Through an inter-provincial Memorandum of Understanding, the governments of Ontario, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick and Alberta have put forward a nuclear plan that will transition them toward cleaner energy with the first 300-megawatt plant to be built in Darlington, Ontario, by 2028. ...
