BOWMANVILLE -- An information kiosk now open in Bowmanville Mall will provide information on the Environmental Assessment into the possibility of building new nuclear reactors at Darlington.
The kiosk opened Tuesday and is aimed at ensuring "the public is consulted and making sure people can have as much information as we can give them," said Pat McNeil, Ontario Power Generation's senior vice-president of nuclear generation development.
The kiosk is to be staffed Tuesday through Saturday each week, "but we will adjust the hours if people feel they are not getting enough time or if there's more demand," Mr. McNeil said.
Ontario Power Generation applied in September 2006, at the request of the Province, to build up to four reactors to generate as much as 4,800 megawatts of electricity on OPG-owned land next to the existing four reactors in Bowmanville. The EA is expected to take another 2 1/2 years and the kiosk will remain open through that time, Mr. McNeil said.
The kiosk is in Bowmanville Mall, 243 King St. E., just east of the A&P store in the mall.
