AbstractAbstract
[en] Highlights of the Canadian nuclear power program are featured. Over the year, capacity factors were 85.6%, 90.9%, 95.6% and 90.8% for Pickering A units 1-4 respectively. Three units of Bruce A are in service, with the fourth due to start up in December 1978. Progress with the construction of Gentilly 2, Point Lepreau and Pickering B is reported. Future developments will include a Gentilly 3, and 3.4 GW at Darlington. The Cordoba reactor has now been delivered, and site facilities are taking shape in Korea. Export sales to Romania, Italy, or Japan are considered to be a definite possibility. A nuclear communications centre to be opened by Ontario Hydro at Pickering during the summer of 1978 is designed to assist public understanding and acceptance of nuclear power. (N.D.H.)
