“We could be a world leader,” Ontario Premier Doug Ford said of the export potential that could benefit Ontario. Small modular reactors can operate individually or be set up with others at a single nuclear plant to supply a similar level of power as larger generators, s...
In this section Nuclear waste - it's in our care. Ontario’s electricity system is one of the cleanest in North America, and the world, thanks to Nuclear Power. Ontario’s nuclear reactors meet more than 50% of the province’s energy needs on any given day, so ensuring these plants ...
I suspect that even those arguing for nuclear don’t believe we’ll ever build one of these reactors in Australia, and certainly not in time to help manage the exit of coal from the system. But they get their grabs up in the news, while the public get the growing energy bills that th...
The first four Pickering nuclear reactors went into service in 1971, saysOPG. In 1997, these reactors were placed in voluntary lay-up as part of its predecessor company’s (Ontario Hydro) nuclear improvement program. In September 2003 and November 2005, Units 4 and 1, respectively, were retu...
Within Canada, smaller nuclear reactors of various sizes are being planned or explored in Ontario, Saskatchewan and Alberta, and Christidis said they could be "fundamental to shifting away from the use of coal" in these provinces. "The applications (of SMRs) to widen the transi...
