26 February 2008 – The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) said it will renew Ontario Power Generation Inc.'s Darlington nuclear station power reactor license for five years. The license will be valid from March 1, 2008 until February 28, 2013.
The commission included new conditions in the license, which were not immediately disclosed. The commission also asked its staff and Ontario Power to present a status report on the implementation of the new license conditions at a future date.
Darlington is in Ontario on the north shore of Lake Ontario. The facility consists of four CANDU pressurized heavy water reactors and associated equipment. Each
reactor has a nominal electrical output of 881 MW. Included within the licensed area is a tritium removal facility, built and operated to reduce tritium concentration in heavy water inventories. A hazardous material storage building was added to the site for storage of heavy water from the Bruce Heavy Water Plant. Heavy water storage is licensed separately by the CNSC.
