Point Lepreau Nuclear Generating Station is a Canadian nuclear power station located 2 km northeast of Point Lepreau, New Brunswick. The facility was constructed between 1975-1983 by NB Power, the provincially owned public utility. The facility derives its name from the nearby headland situated at the easternmost part of Charlotte County, although the generating station itself is located within Saint John County. The generating station is administratively part of the local service district of Musquash, west of the city of Saint John. The Point Lepreau Nuclear Generating Station is the only nuclear generating facility located in Atlantic Canada and comprises 1 CANDU nuclear reactor located on the northern shore of the Bay of Fundy, having a net capacity of 660 MW (705 MW gross). == History == Point Lepreau was finished in 1981. It operated until 2008, when it closed for a refurbishment until October 23, 2012, when it was first re-connected to the grid. This is the only operating nuclear reactor in Canada outside Ontario. This was the only CANDU reactor built on the East Coast of Atlantic Canada ; other CANDUs are in Argentina, South Korea, India, Pakistan, Romania and China. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Point Lepreau Nuclear Generating Station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
