As Pickering Nuclear prepares for its refurbishment, we’re taking a moment to reflect on the station’s remarkable legacy.
For decades, the station's people have powered Ontario, helped achieve major milestones, all while producing countless megawatts of reliable, clean electricity. From the original “A” side, home to Units 1–4, to the newer “B” side, which houses Units 5–8 and is scheduled to begin refurbishment next year, pending regulatory approval, Pickering has been a powerhouse in every sense of the word.
Take a quick look back at the decades of memories, achievements, and people that helped make Pickering one of the world’s best-performing nuclear stations and learn more: bit.ly/4yjtmwj

What is a small modular reactor (SMR)? And what makes them different from a traditional nuclear station?
Find out in our “How it Works” series, where we explain how SMRs generate clean, reliable electricity like any other traditional reactor – but from a smaller, more compact footprint.
At Darlington Nuclear, OPG is now building the G7’s first grid-scale SMR, the first of four planned 300 MW units at the site.
Big power from a compact design. That’s the power of SMRs.
