Canadian utility Bruce Power said on 20 January that it is beginning the execution phase of its first Major Component Replacement (MCR) project. The Operations team at the Bruce B nuclear generating station in Ontario completed the rundown sequence for unit 6, which was then taken offline. Between now and 2033, units 3-8 will be upgraded during MCR, replacing the reactor components to extend the life of those units, and the Bruce Power site, until 2064. The eight pressurised heavy-water Candu reactor units at the Bruce site began commercial operation between September 1977 and May 1987.
