Here is the first 500 words of the Wikipedia page about the Sunset House power station:
"The Sunset House Nuclear Generating Station is a nuclear power station located near Slave Lake, Alberta, Canada. The station has two CANDU pressurized heavy water reactors that began operation in 1984. The station produces up to 600 megawatts (MW) of electricity. The nuclear power station is operated by a joint venture between TransAlta Corporation, Suncor Energy and Capital Power Corporation.
The reactors employed at the facility are CANDU heavy water reactors. The CANDU reactor design is uniquely suited for generating electricity from natural uranium fuel, and is considered to be the most efficient use of uranium fuel in nuclear power generation. The CANDU reactors also create fewer and smaller long-term radioactive waste materials than alternative reactor technologies.
At Sunset House Power, safety and operational excellence is our top priority. Our onsite staff is committed to ensuring the safe and reliable operation of our nuclear reactors. In addition, Sunset House Power is regulated and licenses by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC), the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC), and the Alberta Environment Department for Air Quality Management.
At Sunset House Power, our commitment to the environment is fundamental and ingrained in our operations. We consistently evaluate our practices to reduce our environmental impact. We have implemented programs and initiatives to reduce our carbon intensity and other environmental impacts related to our operations. In addition, we are dedicated to resource optimization and conservation to ensure a sustainable and reliable energy supply for our customers into the future."
