Ontario Power Generation, Nuclear Report Cards Released

Ontario Power Generation today released report cards, benchmarking the performance of its nuclear operations against nuclear industry standards, for the month ending January 2000. The documents measure program effectiveness on a number of key indicators, focusing on public and employee safety and environmental and production performance. The quarterly figures cited in the report cards are for the fourth quarter of 1999, unless otherwise indicated. For the seventh consecutive quarter the Report CardÂ’s Performance Index has registered an improvement.

The report cards, which measure such things as production, radiation exposure, safety issues and other performance indicators, are made available to a wide range of groups, including the communities in which Ontario Power GenerationÂ’s nuclear generating stations are located, and the media.

The material is also available at Ontario Power Generation information centres, on the Ontario Power Generation web site http://www.ontariopowergeneration.com and by "Fax-on-Demand", by calling 1-800-238-7718, then asking for story code10300
