Learn about Ontario Power Generation (OPG)’s plans for the decommissioning of its nuclear material storage facilities and the role played by regulatory and oversight bodies in ensuring our plans are safe, sustainable, and fully funded. A nuclear power plant produces reliable, low-cost, and carbon-free energy for decades.

new DSC Processing Building would increase processing capabilities from 50 DSCs to approximately 100 DSCs per year. OPG is requesting that the licensed area be expanded to accommodate Storage Buildings #4, #5, #6 and the new DSC Processing Building which will be within the current environmentally assessed area.

2024年6月18日 · As part of our commitment to keep you informed, this report tracks performance for Ontario Power Generation’s (OPG's) Nuclear Waste Management facilities in the areas of safety, operations, and the environment. It also summarizes significant accomplishments achieved during the first quarter of 2024.

OPG’s nuclear waste and radioactive materials are managed at three NSS sites. The NSS Western Waste Management Facility (NSS-WWMF) in Bruce County receives and manages the low-and intermediate-level waste and materials from the Darlington, Pickering, and Bruce Power nuclear stations.

Storage Container (DSC) Storage Building #3 on a quarterly average basis, based on the CNSC dose rate limit of 1 mSv/year for a member of the public, over a maximum of 2,000 hours per year occupancy for non-nuclear energy

The DSC processing building provides a facility for the receipt, inspection, preparation for use of empty DSCs, seal welding of loaded DSCs, and office space for personnel.

Once removed from the reactor, fuel bundles are transferred to cooling bays, and then eventually transferred to interim dry storage containers (DSC). You can learn more below. Used fuel bundles require storage for hundreds of thousands of years until …

OPG has a standardized site-specific, storage-transportation module that stores the fuel compactly. To reduce handling, the storage-transportation module is also suitable to hold the fuel during transportation. Baskets, trays and modules are stacked vertically in the bays using seismically qualified stacking frames.

2017年4月13日 · In addition to the licence renewal request, OPG also requested authorization for the site preparation and construction of a new dry storage container (DSC) processing building and two new DSC storage buildings #5 and #6, as well as for the construction of DSC storage building #4 (carried over from the current licence). 2.

OPG’s Nuclear Sustainability Services Division doesn’t just accept waste as inevitable. Our focus is in three key areas: Preventing Waste: We prevent it before its created. Through continuous innovation to assist in reducing waste volumes produced throughout the nuclear industry.
