The hearing is to consider an application from Bruce Power to amend the licensing basis of the power reactor operating licence for the Bruce A and B nuclear generating stations to increase reactor power limits. The Bruce A and B nuclear generating stations are located in the Municipality of Kincardine on the eastern shore of Lake Huron, on the traditional and treaty territory of the Saugeen Ojibway Nation, and the traditional harvesting territories of the Métis Nation of Ontario Region 7 and the Historic Saugeen Métis peoples.
