Ontario Power Generation
At OPG’s nuclear power plants safety is our first priority. In more than 35 years of operating our facilities, a member of the public has never been harmed from our nuclear operations. OPG’s priority for all of its generating stations, including its nuclear generation, is to safely operate our facilities in a manner that minimizes impact on the environment. Updated Jan. 6, 2010
In Canada, the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) regulates nuclear facilities to protect health and the environment. The CNSC requires nuclear facility operators, including OPG to closely monitor and report tritium releases into the environment.
The CNSC’s website includes extensive information about tritium. Visit their website at:
