CNSC strikes previous requirements from Bruce Power’s operating licence
The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission announced that the Bruce Nuclear Generating Station in Kincardine, Ont., can continue using pressure tubes that have degraded past previous regulatory limits, which the station violated in 2021.
Nuclear reactor pressure tubes are deteriorating faster than expected. Critics warn regulators are ‘breaking their own rules’ But Bruce Power knew tubes in some of its reactors would exceed that limit prior to being overhauled, and asked the CNSC to raise it to 160 ppm. CNSC officials signalled they might acquiesce, but said more data was needed; Ms. Velshi put the utility on notice that she regarded this as a significant undertaking.
