At OPG's Wesleyville site in Port Hope, we're boring deep into the ground to assess the site for its potential nuclear future.
As part of the first phase of the project's Impact Assessment, OPG is working with E.S. Fox, Indigenous-owned Voyageur Services, and other local companies to conduct a geotechnical and hydrogeological borehole campaign. The geotechnical campaign aims to bore at 40 locations across the site, reaching depths of between 60 to 120 metres, and is expected to wrap up later this summer.
Other ongoing work includes surveys of the area’s vegetation, birds, and wildlife, aquatic and surface-water assessments, as well as archaeological, socio-economic, and traffic studies.
This important work is helping advance a potential project that could provide up to 10,000 MW of new nuclear generation for Ontario's clean energy future.
