I question the accuracy of whether Boer War veterans still reside ANYWHERE. The Boer War was, like, 1899-1902. WWI vets are extremely rare, and that was 12-16 years later. Scientz

[edit] Clean up tag

This article has some promise, but it reads in part like local government booster pamphlet and it requires to be reshaped to flow better. Dabbler 02:11, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Appears the cleanup tag was removed, but I've added a history section and hope to add more. Hopefully this will help. Blotto adrift 15:56, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Poor quality Article

The article has a number of inaccuracies. There are two separate nuclear stations on the site - A and B. They share a few common systems but for most important intents they are administered separately. The A side was shut down for economic reasons in 1997, not safety reasons. Pickering A is the second commercial-scale nuclear station in Canada and still represents a very early CANDU design (the first was Douglas Point).

The piece is missing virtually all the technical details. A photo would be nice. I'll try to add them when I get some time.

Really - there should be two articles, not one.

There is a separate article on Pickering Nuclear - please see Pickering Nuclear Generating Station. This would be the best place for technical details. Blotto adrift 15:23, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
