      History

      The Ontario Nuclear Safety Review was established in 1986 in response to public concern about the safety of nuclear power after the June 1986 accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power station in the U.S.S.R.

      The Commissioner of the Review, Dr. Kenneth Hare, submitted his report to the Minister of Energy in February 1988.

      The report concluded that Ontario Hydro's reactors were operating safely and at high standards of technical performance.
