This air monitoring device will serve as part of the Ontario Reaction Surveillance Program. The Radiation Protection Monitoring Service is the only Ontario Government Laboratory licensed and accredited to perform radiation measurements in the province. The ORSP is operated to track radiation levels in the communities surrounding nuclear facilities in order to assure the public that their health, safety and property are not being impacted by plant emissions. As the population in the Durham Region continues to grow so, too must the ORSP network. Four air sampling stations are currently in operation in the area surrounding the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station. The proposed letter of understanding has been reviewed by the Director of Finance.
