In this 360/VR video, Motherboard goes inside the Pickering Nuclear Generating Facility, which is Canada’s oldest functioning nuclear plant. Critics say it’s time to shut the plant down. As of now, the Pickering plant is set to run to 2018, but operators have applied to extend the license to 2024, citing our growing energy needs.
The nuclear plant is located in the middle of the growing community of Pickering, Ontario, where residents are torn over what to do about it. In this video, we join a protest on the beach, meet plant employees who trust its safety, and speak with residents who’ve just gotten used to living down the street from a nuclear plant.
