“Innovative businesses develop and consider new opportunities, but we’ve made a business decision to continue to put our full focus on the safe, reliable operations and ambitious investment program on our Bruce site,” Hawthorne said.That didn't sound very negative, especially as Ontario's Long Term Energy Plan called for the refurbishment of all 8 Bruce reactors. With 1 and 2 having been fueled and expected to return to the grid by the mid-point of 2012, I was starting to wonder if the refurbishment of Bruce B's 4 reactors was being reconsidered, as plans seemed long overdue.
"Bruce Power will continue to work with its investors and the Ontario Power Authority on the feasibility of securing 6,300 megawatts (MW) from the Bruce site following the successful restart of Units 1 and 2 in 2012, which will inject another 1,500 MW of baseload generation into the Ontario market."Feasibility?
I'd say the Bruce B refurbishment is now a bigger question mark..
