	Pickering Nuclear Generating Station - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pickering is only surpassed in Canada by the Bruce Nuclear Generating Station, which while also having 8 reactors, has a greater output.
		The Pickering station is one of the largest nuclear facilities in the world and comprises 8 CANDU nuclear reactors located on the northern shore of Lake Ontario, having a total output of 4124 MW (capacity net) and 4336 MW (gross net) when all units are online.
		In April 1999 Ontario Hydro was split into 5 component Crown corporations with Ontario Power Generation (OPG) taking over all electrical generating stations and which continues to operate the Pickering station.

	IPC - P-474
		As I have indicated previously, the appellant is seeking access to records which were considered for inclusion in the rehabilitation plans for the Bruce-A Nuclear generating Station, but which were subsequently rejected.
		For example, it is easily conceivable that some of the projects Hydro staff rejected in the rehabilitation of the Bruce-A Nuclear Generating Station were rejected for reasons of intractability -- difficulty or cost or hazard Hydro staff considered excessive, not because the existing system is considered ideal, optimal, or even appropriate...
		In my view, the safety of Ontario's nuclear generating facilities is a matter of considerable importance to the general public.
