Since 2016, when the first interim report on our collaboration was published, OPG and Bruce Power have experienced significant progress on the Darlington Refurbishment Project and the Life Extension Program, respectively. OPG has safely completed more than 60 per cent of the work on the Unit 2 schedule and has started the complex work of rebuilding the reactor. The project is progressing on time and on budget.
At the same time, Bruce Power is more than two years into its Life Extension Program, and has signed a number of key supplier agreements as it prepares for its first Major Component Replacement (MCR) project starting in 2020.
Planning for the program remains on track. Together, OPG and Bruce Power have been engaged with the Construction Switch Initiative, an OPG program designed to streamline refurbishment activities and facilitate efficient field execution with safety and quality in mind. With the demand for skilled trades on the rise, our organizations have also been heavily focused on efforts to build skilled trades capacity in nuclear, helping to ensure a steady supply of highly qualified workers will be available to complete the work.
