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...
This article focuses on a contemporary and ongoing case of nuclear colonialism in Canada: attempts to site two national deep geological repositories (DGRs) for nuclear waste on traditional First Nations land in Southwestern Ontario near the world's largest operational nuclear power plant. Through ...
In Canada, theFisheries Actrequires all water takers to avoid, mitigate and offset fish losses. To satisfy the act's requirements, operators of power plants are required to undertake habitat restoration projects to compensate for fish impinged and entrained at cooling water intake structures. ...
Isar Nuclear Power Plant Operating, 1485 Megawatts, Age: 33 years A nuclear power plant includes three parts. 1 Inside the containment building, a reactor uses nuclear fission to produce heat. This is used to turn water into steam. 2 Inside the second building, the steam is used to drive ...
In December 2020, Natural Resources Canada released its SMR action plan, envisaging the first units to come online in the late 2020s. According to the Canadian Nuclear Association, about 15 percent of Canada's electricity comes from nuclear power, with 19 reactors mostly in Ontario providing 13....
Although many people imagine three eyed fish, mushroom clouds, and Homer Simpson (like electric fences around their minds) when the words “nuclear energy” are spoken, the fact is that Canada’s last nuclear build occurred over 3 decades ago with the Darlington-3 plant in 1985. When looking...
free electricity to the grid. In Michigan, pro-nuclear activists are pushing to reopen the Palisades nuclear plant, which once provided around 5 percent of the state’s total electricity generation. Similar efforts are underway to try to extend the life of the Pickering nuclear plant in Canada....
