O N T A R I O P O W E R G E N E R A T I O N Plutonium 238 (Pu-238) New isotope opportunity - in development ▪ Pu-238 cannot be used for atomic weapons ▪ Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators (RTG) ▪ Used in Deep Space Missions (with no solar) ▪ Examples: Mars Rover and Cassini Satellite ▪ 9

O N T A R I O P O W E R G E N E R A T I O N Helium 3 (He-3) ▪ Stable (non-radioactive) element ▪ Nuclear properties make it ideal for lung imaging ▪ Used in radioactive material detectors ▪ Fuel for fusion energy ▪ In the News: Mining the Moon for He-3 10

O N T A R I O P O W E R G E N E R A T I O N Tritium (H-3) Produced as a by-product in CANDU reactors ▪ through the neutron capture of deuterium Tritium removal service provider ▪ Low energy beta emission ▪ Industrial: Combined with phosphorus, ▪ luminescence occurs Exit signs and Tactical Devices ▪ 11
