Pickering Units 5-8:
• Based on successful CANDU 6 reactor design
• Reliable
• Safety features match Bruce & Darlington
• Have operated without major incident
• Strategic GTA electrical position

Refurbishment makes sense!

Pickering Unit 5 is looking to outperform these days with help from an advanced high pressure turbine. It has been high as high as 560 MW in initial testing after installation in 2021.

A sign of things to come with full refurbishment.

On this day in 1983, Unit 5, the first of Pickering B type reactors, reached full power just over 3 months after first grid connection. It took another 2 months to be declared in service.

In contrast, Unit 8 only took just over 1 month from first grid connection to in service!

The crowd is building and keeping warm.

Chris A., Dylan and Tom are in the crowd. Chris K. is busy schmoozing with the media and such.

In the 24hrs of February 3rd, Ontario's 5,000MW wind fleet produced a grand total of 2,281MWh, an average output of 95MW, hitting 0MW at 1PM. #Pickering2075 produced 62,218MWh, 27.3x more electricity.

The GEA will have cost Ontario $62 billion dollars by the time the contracts

Pickering Unit 4 reconnected to the grid overnight following its big steam display last Saturday.

Let the run continue.

The Pickering Nuclear Generating Station is getting refurbished. Why invest in nuclear? Why not invest in more solar & wind like the rest of the world?

Pickering 2075 🤣

Reliable constant baseload energy is the grid's foundation.

Which would you choose?

#Pickering2075 #CANDU 🇨🇦 #NuclearEnergy

Another one of many reasons to refurbish Pickering.

#Pickering2075 #CANDU 🇨🇦 #NuclearEnergy

It is always compelling to see Pickering through the eyes of an artist.

Thank you! May it look as great once refurbishment is complete!

Just think of what we'll be able do after refurbishment.

Pickering was mentioned front & centre in the Ontario budget energy supply outlook.

Sometimes you gotta do stuff, which is still better than just drifting in the wind or waiting for the light to come on.
