OPG Applies For Renewal Of Darlington Nuclear Site Licence :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency

OPG Applies For Renewal Of Darlington Nuclear Site Licence :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency: Ontario Power Generation (OPG) has applied to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission for renewal of the site preparation licence for the Darlington new nuclear project, the Organisation of Canadian Nuclear Industries (OCNI) said.

In 2012, following the acceptance of an environmental assessment, the CNSC granted OPG a licence to allow site preparation activities to support future nuclear generation.

The application for renewal of the licence will be considered by the CNSC at a public hearing scheduled to take place on 9 and 10 June 2021.

Darlington is the only site in Canada currently licensed for new nuclear. OPG owns and operates the Pickering and Darlington nuclear stations in Ontario.
