The Bruce station is the largest nuclear facility in the world (the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa in Japan is larger but is only operating at 48% of capacity due to earthquake damage and decommissioning),[4][5] comprising 8 CANDU nuclear reactors having a total output of 6,272 MW and 7,276 MW (net) when all units are online. The Bruce station has three double-circuit 500 kV transmission lines going out of it to feed the major load centres in southern Ontario, in addition to three double-circuit 230 kV lines serving the local area.[6]
The station is the largest employer in Bruce County, with 3800 workers.
