The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) Joint Review Panel (JRP) has said that it will issue a Nuclear Power Reactor Site Preparation License to Ontario Power Generation Inc. (OPG) for its new Darlington nuclear site power plant project for a 10 year period.

Westinghouse will prepare detailed construction plans and cost estimates for two potential AP1000 reactors at Ontario Power Generation's (OPG's) Darlington site. "The plans and estimates would provide significant input in helping the Province of Ontario determine the baseload generation option that is best for Ontario's ratepayers," Westinghouse said. Westinghouse Americas president Joe Zwetolitz said that the company "is pleased to participate in the province's information-gathering process." The company has also opened an office in Toronto to better serve the Canadian market. Some 100 Canadian suppliers currently provide a wide range of products and services for the Westinghouse product lines, the company said.

The Canadian Nuclear Association's (CNA) Annual Conference and Trade Show was held in Ottawa in March and more than 700 delegates gathered to discuss the future of nuclear in Canada and around the world.
