Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Heavy Water Plant (Mick McLennan)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Song Of Cape Breton-Heavy Waterpl
There were two heavy water plants in Cape Breton. One in Glace Bay and the other in Point Tupper, on the Canso Strait. Both are now gone, victim to a dropping demand for nuclear power. The one at Glace Bay was built and then re-built a second time as design and materiel flaws surfaced in the first one. All of this created a great deal of work during construction.
