The progress and improved design features of the Douglas Point Nuclear Power Station, located on the eastern shore of Lake Huron, 130 miles northwest of Toronto, are described. The station will be powered by the heavy-water moderated and cooled, natural uranium fueled CANDU reactor. The station will have an electrical output of 200 Mw and an efficiency of 29%, Schematic diagrams are presented of the plant and mechanical equipment, reactor system, flow system, and the reactor. Descriptions are given of the coolant channels, calandria and dump tank, primary coolant system, moderator and helium system, end shields, fuel and fueling, turbine-generator, control system, and the special features.
