OPG statement regarding former employee charged by RCMP

TORONTO, ON – Ontario Power Generation (OPG) has been operating nuclear power plants safely for more than five decades. Our nuclear stations utilize sophisticated security technology and intelligence to keep our facilities and communities safe. This includes robust, “defense in depth” security systems to ensure we are prepared to pre-empt or respond to any situation.

These systems worked: immediately upon identifying an information breach, OPG and RCMP implemented measures to mitigate and manage any further unauthorized disclosure.

Public safety and station integrity have not been compromised.
