Bartholomew Vice-President, Production Branch Ontario Hydro Toronto, Ontario 1.0 INTRODUCTION It 1s the purpose of this paper to discuss the past, present and future performance!1J of Ontario Hydro's nuclear units with special emphasis on future performance over the next 20 years. Ontario Hydro Is a public utility serving the nearly 9 million people of Ontario. Installed capacity, as of December 1987, 1s greater than 30 000 MW(e), divided amongst three generation types: Type MW(e) Net Hydraulic 6 537 Thermal 13 253 Nuclear 10 526 TOTAL 30 316 Energy production In 1987 was 126 terawatt-hours, of which 50% (63 TWh) was from nuclear power. Ontario Hydro's Nuclear Program, based upon the CANDU reactor design, 1s currently made up of 16 units (Table 1) 1n service with a net capacity of 10 526 MW(e). The 4 unit Oariington station, (Table 2) now under construction, will bring this total to more than 14 000 MW(e) by the year 1992. Cumulative operating experience with our nuclear program to the end of 1987 was 172 reactor years. The forecasted energy production!2! for the year 1997 1s approximately 166 terawatt-hours of which approximately 60% will come from nuclear power. Ontario Hydro Is currently Involved 1n a Demand/Supply Planning Strategy which will determine the need for and type of electrical generation that the Province will require after the year 1997. One of the options 1s the construction of further nuclear generation facilities. The forecasted energy production!2! for the year 2006 1s approximately 191 terauatt-hours. If nuclear generation 1s Included 1n the option chosen, 1t is estimated that approximately 60% of this forecast will come from nuclear power. Since the start of Its nuclear program In 1962, Ontario Hydro has used a system of Management by Objectives to achieve excellence and ensure excellence 1n the future. The five key objective areas are: (1) Worker Safety (2) Public Safety (3) Environmental Protection (4) Reliability (5) Product Cost Each area 1s quantified by standards and targets. By measuring actual performance against these standards and targets, Ontario Hydro management 1s able to assess the relative performance of Its nuclear program, set priorities and make appropriate program decisions. This paper 1s structured around each of the objective areas, Details of the current nuclear program are shown 1n the following tables: Table I Ontario Hydro Units 1n Service Nuclear Generating Number Net Capacity In-Serv1ce Station Of Units HW (e) Dates Pickering NGS-A 4 060 1971-1973 Pickering NGS-B 4 064 1983-1986 Bruce NGS-A 4 056 1977-1979 Bruce NGS-B 4_ 3 346 1985-1987 Total 16 10 526 Table II Ontario Hydro Units Under Construction Nuclear Generating Number Net Capacity In-Serv1ce Station Of Units HW (e) Dates Darlington NGS 4 3 520 1989-1992 2.0 WORKER SAFETY The worker safety goal of the Nuclear Generation Division of Ontario Hydro 1s to have Its employees be safer at work than when not at work, safer than non-nuclear workers at Ontario Hydro and safer than workers 1n other Industries. The program emphasizes both conventional and radiological safety. In the 26 years since the start of commercial nuclear operations, Ontario Hydro's nuclear worker safety record has been very good. Highlights Include: (1) Over 133 million hours of work 1n Ontario Hydro nuclear stations without a fatality to a nuclear employee. (2) No employees have been known to be Injured as a result of radiation exposure. (3) The Injury rate to Ontario Hydro nuclear employees has been less than 7% of the average experienced In all Ontario manufacturing Industries over the last ten years. Radiation dose to our workers per unit of energy produced continues to be very low. Dose has been managed by a dose control program which ensures that workers are never exposed to greater than the regulatory limits. Actual average worker dose 1s considerably less than these limits. The historical Information for the period 1968-1987 can be seen 1n Figures 1 and 2. In 1985 we achieved the lowest radiation dose per unit of energy produced since 1968 1n spite of the Increase In operating units from 2 to 16. The 1985 performance was 0.024 rem/GWh(e) and 1n 1987 0.027 rem/GWh(e). The 1987 experience equates to an average of approximately 0.34 rem for all exposed workers. The pressure tube replacement at Pickering Units 1 and 2 had potential for high radiation doses to our workers.

What an incredible journey the past six decades has been. Who could have imagined that 74 young men beginning engineering programs in a pair of tin-roofed portables on July 1, 1957 would be the foundation of what is today a world- leading university in research and experiential education. As we move into the next decade, we reflect on our remarkable past. The historical timeline in this issue highlights many of our milestones along the way. It’s fun to look back at where we started and think about where we are now.
