Where did the 1994 LOCA come from? Even Greenpeace had nothing on it on their website.

Accidents missing from article?[edit]

I find it curious that two major accidents that occurred at Pickering are missing from the article. I do not have time to edit the article at the moment, but if someone does, have a look for the 1974 and 1983 pressure tube ruptures. AECL will have full reports on these.

older discussions[edit]

Do you think the person who wrote this article meant CANDU reactor, not CANDAR? M123 00:54, 18 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Yes, there is no such thing as a CANDAR reactor, all reactors in Canada are CANDU reactors. Alex756 00:59, 18 Aug 2003 (UTC)

I don't know how to use the talk pages (The date and such), so I'm just using edit, cause theres no post new comment or anything Anyways, Yes, I did mean CANDU, I didn't have anything on hand. I usually post the general info that I know, then comeback and edit my mistakes... It appears as if you already did. I will add more info, I'm trying to find the address cause I live near it Fizscy46 19:03?, 20 Aug 2003 {UTC)

I forgot to write a summary of changes; in any event, I edited the "status list" so that both A1 and A4 are listed as currently operating without adding a reference to a "return to service".--Nicsilo 04:11, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

What does the DI water leak have to do with waste? --SCStrikwerda (talk) 15:18, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Missing an explanation as to the type of Heavy Water Nuclear Reactor operating at Pickering[edit]

There is really no real reference as to what type of nuclear reactor is operating at Pickering ( only a mention of the name CANDU) and how it is vastly different to anything operating in the United States. You have to jump around through three web links to find a reference and even then you have to have previous knowledge of the CANDU heavy water Nuclear reactor design. People assume that the CANDU design is in the same league as say the Fukashima American designed reactors and it is not! The article needs some major links to the explanations for a heavy water nuclear reactor.

Infobox[edit]

What about using {{Infobox NPP}} like this article has: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Mile_Island_Nuclear_Generating_Station ?? Altonbr (talk) 14:29, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
