Ontario Power Generation (OPG) awarded the contract for the execution phase of its re-tube and feeder replacement project. The scope of work includes refurbishment of the reactor cores to replace critical components, using tools and methods that were developed and tested during the project’s definition phase carried out by the joint venture.
The execution phase is targeted to begin this year and will take approximately 10 years.
“The Darlington nuclear refurbishment project will contribute significantly to the economic vitality of Ontario while ensuring the supply of emissions-free and reliable baseload electricity,” said Aecon Group president and CEO Teri McKibbon. “We look forward to working with OPG on what we are confident will become a benchmark project for the industry.”
