Participant funding for Ontario Power Generation's application to amend the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station operating licence for the production of additional isotopes using the target delivery system

This participant funding opportunity is open from August 26 to October 11, 2024.

Participant funding notice

The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) will conduct a hearing based on written submissions in winter 2025, to consider an application from Ontario Power Generation (OPG) for the amendment of its power reactor operating licence for the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station. The amendment being sought would authorize OPG to commercially produce 2 additional medical isotopes using the existing target delivery system. The facility is located in the municipality of Clarington and the traditional territory of the Wendat, Anishinabek Nation, and the territory covered by the Williams Treaties First Nations.

The CNSC is offering participant funding to assist Indigenous Nations and communities, members of the public, and interested parties in reviewing OPG’s application and associated documents, and in participating in the Commission hearing process by providing topic-specific interventions in writing to the Commission.

Up to $30,000 in participant funding will be disbursed among all eligible applicants for the provision of new, distinctive and valuable information through informed and topic-specific interventions in writing to the Commission. Funding will be awarded for the review of documentation including CNSC staff’s documents and OPG’s Commission member documents.
