Fish Diversion System Barrier Net Project Objective The project objective was to design and install a cost-effective fish protection system to reduce impingement mortality of fish at Pickering Nuclear Generating Station. Kinectrics Solution A total of four (4) different options were identified to reduce fish impingement at Pickering NGS including: i) a barrier net, ii) barrier net + partial acoustics, iii) stand-alone acoustics and, iv) a combined acoustic + strobe system. Based on an analysis of operating experience, costs, benefits, and potential effectiveness, it was concluded that a barrier net represented the preferred technology to reduce fish mortality at Pickering NGS. Kinectrics provided a turnkey solution by designing, fabricating, and installing a 2,000 ft. barrier net around th
