ONTARIO POWER GENERATION (OPG), PICKERING NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION
About This Organization
Located on the shores of Lake Ontario just east of Toronto, Ontario, Canada and nestled in the community of Pickering, is one of the world’s largest nuclear generating facilities, the Pickering Nuclear Station.
Today, Pickering Nuclear has 6 operating Candu (Canadian Deuterium Uranium) reactors. Units 2 and 3 remain in safe shut down state. Together the station has a total output of 3,100 megawatts (MW), enough to serve a city of one and a half million people.
OPG is planning for the continued operation of the Pickering Nuclear station until 2020.
