Ontario As The Main Point Of Nuclear Power Production In Canada

By Len Peterson


Nuclear power plant is an example of a clean energy source. It is important to focus on nuclear energy so as to avert climate change. About 50% of electricity needs in Ontario are met by nuclear power. This source of electricity has been preferred owing to many advantages realized. The power is usually produced at a low cost compared to other many sources of energy. In addition to that, the emissions of this kind of energy do neither cause global warming nor do they cause acid rain.

Generally, about 15% of electricity used in Canada has a nuclear origin. There are about 19 reactors within Canada. Most of these reactors are located in the City. The plans for construction of two more reactors are at an advanced stage. This is intended to boost energy production within the country.

Quality research is conducted by experts within Chalk River laboratories. This research is intended to ensure that production is conducted in right manner. Professionals working in this field come from various fields such as engineering, chemistry, metallurgy and also in biology. Program analyst has duty of ensuring that research is conducted in right manner and also in facilities that meet the international standards. Experience in VMware is highly demanded during application for nuclear jobs.

Engineers, technicians, trade workers, administrative staff, training and education, human resources and also communications are careers available within this kind of industry. When hiring professionals the right procedure is adhered to. Some of people living in Ottawa like these high paying jobs. When recruitment nuclear personnel are required, 3-6 month contract positions are advertised.

According to study carried out by Canadian Energy Research Institute nuclear reactors within the country contributes a significant amount of money to the GDP every year. The industry recruits a large number of people. About 21000 people have benefited directly through employments and about 10,000 have been employed indirectly within the industry.

Regulation of energy production is done by Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission. This process is intended to make sure that wellbeing of individuals is not interfered with during the production process.

Commercial production of Nuclear energy has been going on in Canada since 1960s. During licensing of plants, different areas are covered to enhance safety of workers and also the general public. The areas well taken care of include; radiation protection, environmental protection, emergency preparedness and also fitness of equipment used to perform the service.
