Original Toronto Star caption: Expaning the nuclear plant. Four new reactors, to be completed by 1982, will double the size and capacity of the Pickering Nuclear Power Station and work in under way on two of them. Joe Zsidi uses a torch to cut a beam for the first one, with the existing plant behind him. Mild weather has delayed excavation for the second one.
