Province mulls nuclear station on site of former coal-fired power plant.
The former site of North America’s largest coal-fired power plant could one day host a nuclear station.

At its height, the Nanticoke Generating Station generated 4,000 megawatts of electricity. The coal-fired plant was decommissioned in 2013 after a four-decade run as one of Canada’s most important power producers — and one of the country’s largest single sources of pollution.
