PO-3019-F

Document		PO-3019-F


File #		PA08-96


Institution/HIC		Ontario Power Generation


Summary		Ontario Power Generation denied access to “source term” data, consisting of information about the projected release of radioactive materials from three Ontario nuclear power plants under various “event sequences,” under the discretionary exemptions found at sections 14(1)(i) (security) and 16 (national security) of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. This decision was upheld in Order PO-2960-I. However, Order PO-2960-I also required OPG to re-exercise its discretion with respect to its decision to deny access to the information under these exemptions. This order upholds OPG’s re-exercise of discretion, in which it maintained its decision to deny access under these exemptions, and the appeal is dismissed.
