Canadian application for site permit |
|
| Bruce power in Ontario has applied to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission for a licence to prepare its site for construction of two new reactors. It has been studying the feasibility of this for more than two years, and with the government's June announcement that new nuclear plants would be needed, has moved forward. Ontario Power Generation is also considering new build. At present Bruce Power has six CANDU units (4678 MWe) operating at the 9.3 sq km site, and two units (1538 MWe) being refurbished. If the licence is granted, a 3-year environmental study will follow.£¨Platts 17/8/06£© |
