WINGHAM, ONT. A big step in Bruce Power’s 13-year, $13-billion nuclear refurbishment project took place last Friday. A 320,000 pound steam generator was pulled through the roof of the building housing Unit 6 at the Bruce County, Ont. nuclear plant. Seven more steam generators will be removed as part of Unit 6’s life extension. In total, six of Bruce Power’s eight nuclear reactors will be refurbished as part of their multi-billion dollar plan to extend the life of their nuclear fleet until 2064. “This first lift was preceded by a half a decade of preparations and was completed successfully thanks to our safe work plan, highly skilled construction trades as well as strong collaboration and communication with our vendor partner, SGRT,” said Eric Chassard, executive vice president of Projects & Engineering at Bruce Power in a statement.

Unit 6 contains eight steam generators, arranged vertically in two columns of four on the east and west side of the reactor. Each steam generator weighs about 320,000 pounds (145 tonnes). The steam generators was lifted through a port in the roof of the reactor building using a the 1600-tonne capacity Mammoet PTC-35 crane, one of the largest in the world. New steam generators, fabricated at BWXT in Cambridge, Ontario and shipped to the Bruce site late last year, will then be lifted into place.
