Ontario Hydro celebrated its diamond jubilee in 1966. The contrast between the old vehicle (upper left) and a new
bucket truck, below, tells the story of changes in Hydro's operations in those 60 years. In the next 10 years existing
generating capacity will have to be more than doubled to meet power requirements. Thermal stations, both coal-fired
and nuclear, will play a major role in this. The reactor at Douglas Point, Canada's first full-scale nuclear plant, went
into operation late in the year. Construction of Hydro's Pickering nuclear station, east of Toronto, continues day and
night (upper right). In these stations a controlled nuclear reaction takes the place of burning coal in the production
of steam. The electricity is generated by conventional equipment like this turbo -generator at Douglas Point (centre
right). Hydro -electric stations will continue to play an important role—new plants are being built and the capacity
of existing ones increased. Forms for water -carrying tubes of a two -unit extension at Barrett Chute on the Madawaska
River are shown lower right. -ONTARIO HYDRO PHOTOS
