Following a two-day public hearing process, the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) announced today its decision to renew Ontario Power Generation Inc.’s (OPG) power reactor operating licence for the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station (NGS). The licence, which includes a regulatory hold point, will be valid from September 1, 2013 until August 31, 2018.

In making its decision, the Commission considered information presented at public hearings held February 20, 2103 in Ottawa, Ontario and May 29-31, 2013 in Pickering, Ontario. During the public hearing, the Commission received and considered submissions from OPG and 136
 intervenors, as well as CNSC staff’s recommendations.
