They will build on Ontario s nuclear industry expertise and skilled workforce to deliver safe, cost-effective and timely nuclear decommissioning projects; explore the potential for international decommissioning-related opportunities for the Canadian nuclear industry; and identify future skills needs and gaps, and develop plans to fill those gaps.
The CCNS was launched last year by OPG as a regional hub to integrate collaboration and research to strengthen Ontario s supply chain and support preparations for the decommissioning of the Pickering nuclear power plant, which is scheduled to end commercial operations in 2025.
