Hell and Heavy Water: A Glace Bay Heavy Water Plant Story

By Roland D Macinnis

Hell and Heavy Water By Roland MacInnis Synopsis 27May18 This book tells the story of Canada's first large scale heavy water plant. The plant hugged the rocky shores of the cold North Atlantic. It appeared a hundred miles and a hundred years beyond the ill-fated HMS Titanic, near the undersea coalmines of Cape Breton Island, in the town of Glace Bay. Construction was announced in 1963 and the plant was shuttered in 1985. In 2013, it was plowed under and largely forgotten. It was a troubled plant from the outset. It took three attempts and persistent political and financial commitment to bring it to full production. By that time Canada was awash in heavy water.
