Nuclear's costly track record

Despite 25 years of promises to complete projects on time and on budget, the nuclear industry has never delivered in Ontario.

Project What they said it would cost What it really cost
Darlington Nuclear Station $4 billion $14.3 billion
Pickering A Unit 4 refurbishment $457 million $1.25 billion
Pickering A Unit 1 refurbishment $213 million $1.016 billion
Bruce A Units 3 and 4 refurbishment $375 million $750 million
Bruce A Units 1 and 2 refurbishment (ongoing) $2.75 billion Current estimate: $3.1 to $3.4 billion

Ontario's Green Future


Sign the petition for a Nuclear Cost Responsibility Act for Ontario

Every nuclear construction project in Ontario's history has gone massively over budget. And we are all on the hook for these runaway costs, paying a nuclear debt surcharge on every kilowatt of electricity we use. Renewable and natural gas generating projects are strictly prohibited from passing on cost overruns to consumers or taxpayers. It’s time to level the playing field and end nuclear’s free ride.
