The US Department of Army has announced the launch of the Janus Program, a next-generation nuclear power programme aimed at delivering "resilient, secure, and assured energy to support national defence installations and critical missions".
The new Port Hope Nuclear Discovery Centre will give visitors the opportunity to learn about nuclear power and energy demand, as well as Ontario Power Generation's proposed Wesleyville nuclear power project.
The 20-tonne reactor support ring will be installed at a height of 11 metres in the reactor shaft and will support the weight of the reactor vessel which could reach 1000 tonnes when combined with equipment and fluids.
