Babcock and Wilcox will perform fuel channel maintenance at Bruce Power during a scheduled plant shutdown later this year.
The Cambridge-based company announced the $40-million contract yesterday. The work, on the Unit 3 nuclear reactor at Bruce, will begin in November.
“B&W has a proven reputation for excellence in nuclear manufacturing, engineering, inspection and repair services for the nuclear power industry,” said Babcock & Wilcox Nuclear Energy, Inc. President Chris Mowry. “This contract for Bruce Power is the continuation of a very successful program that has benefited from excellent teamwork between our two companies.”
This will be the third fuel channel maintenance project performed for Bruce Power. In previous projects, 200 channels on the Unit 3 reactor were moved. Under this contract, nearly all of the 480 channels will be shifted in order to bring the reactor back to service after the outage.
