In Ontario, a huge nuclear proposal is still only a proposal, and the first real test is happening underground. Ontario Power Generation has begun drilling 40 boreholes at the long-held Wesleyville site near Port Hope to understand whether the land could support as much as 10,000 megawatts of nuclear capacity.
No reactor has been selected and construction has not been approved. For now, engineers are studying the rock, groundwater and surrounding environment before the project can move any further, as per a report by AutoNotion.
