Their job was to create a plan for a big nuclear power plant. In 1959, a nine-person team of engineers and scientists designed Canada’s first nuclear power plant. Construction of the plant began in 1960 at Douglas Point on Ontario’s Chalk River. By 1967, the plant was feeding power into the Ontario power system. In 1994, 60 per cent of Ontario’s power came from the province’s 20 nuclear reactors
