Darlington reactors on hold
DURHAM REGION, ONTARIO - Ontario is indefinitely postponing new nuclear reactors that were to have been built at Darlington, Energy Minister George Smitherman announced.

He called on the federal government "to clarify the future ownership of AECL" before Ontario will proceed.
