Other units remain at normal power
– By Stephen Heiser –
Unit 4 at the Bruce A generating station has been taken offline for what is expected to be a brief outage to allow workers to perform maintenance on a governor valve on the conventional side of the station. Units 3,5,6,7 and 8 remain at high power.
Bruce Power is Canada’s first private nuclear generating company and the source of more than 20 percent of Ontario’s electricity. Located approximately 250 kilometres northwest of Toronto, Bruce currently operates six reactor units and is in the process of restarting two more at the Bruce A generating station. Once restarted, those units will boost our total output to nearly 6,300 megawatts of emissions-free electricity.
