ONTARIO HYDRO
Under construction on the shore of Lake Ontario in the Town
of Newcastle, is Ontario Hydro's Darlington Nuclear Generating
Station. The first of four units will be operational in 1988
and by 1992, all four units will be capable of providing 3.5
million kilowatts of electricity to the Ontario Hydro system.
Tours and information are available at an on-site information
centre. For details call (1116) 623-7122.
ENERGY OPPORTUNITIES
Large quantities of energy in the form of warm water, hot
water or steam could be made available from the Darlington
Generating Station for industrial, agricultural, recreational
or other developments.
The Town of Newcastle, the Region of Durham and Ontario Hydro
are co-operating to assess the potential and promote develop-
ment of thermal energy from Darlington Generating Station for
the overall benefit of the community.
The station will reject to Lake 09tario, large volumes of
condenser cooling water warmed 10 above lake temperature.
This waste heat could be used to develop fish farms or recre-
ational facilities.
Thermal energy could also be supplied in large quantities in
the form of hot water or steam at temperatures suitable for a
range of industrial, residential commercial and agricultural
purposes. Unlike condenser cooing
lwater, this would not be
waste heat. }anergy in these forms would, therefore, be priced
according 'to the reduction in electrical generation caused by
extracting thermal energy from the atati-on's cycles. All heat
supplies would, neverthele:;:;, be competi-tive with conventional.
alternatives.
