Note: The Preliminary Design Report describes an update to the DGR facility design relative to the design previously documented in the Conceptual Design Report – 2008. Design optimization activities continue and the facility design for which a Construction Licence is being sought will be described in the Preliminary Safety Report. The Preliminary Safety Report is expected to be submitted the CEAA/CNSC Joint Review Panel in early 2011 and there may be some differences between the design description in the Preliminary Safety Report and what is described in the attached DGR facility design report.
