N.B. Power is finding itself mired in another slow-moving and pricey maintenance shutdown at the Point Lepreau nuclear generating station after a faulty seal on a pump delayed a restart of the plant last week.
Point Lepreau’s current licence renewal is reaching a close, so the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission is required to grant a new one. NB Power has asked for 25 years.
After three days of hearings, the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission has begun to deliberate on whether to allow the Point Lepreau Nuclear Generating Station to have a 25 year licence to operate.
