Inside the Reactor That Helped Canada Conquer Nuclear Power

Douglas Point is Canada's first full-scale CANDU reactor, and in a few years, it'll be gone forever. In this video I'll take you through an exclusive journey inside this legendary nuclear reactor. Located on the breathtaking shores of Lake Huron, This place is off-limits to the public, but thanks to a rare opportunity, we can explore every corner of it together. This is not just a regular reactor tour; it’s a chance to witness nuclear history coming alive right before our eyes. So, strap in and join me on this incredible adventure as we explore the Douglas Point Reactor before it disappears forever!
