The restarts won two prestigious awards:
The Canadian Consulting Engineering 2004
Schreyer Award, and the Project of the
Year Award from Power Engineering for
the restart of Bruce Power A (Units 3 & 4).
Hatch is a member of the
Acres–Sargent & Lundy and
E.S. Fox Ltd Joint Venture,
known as ASLF, which currently
provides Bruce Power with
engineering and construction
services for upgrading the fire
protection systems and installing
a secondary control area.
The joint venture is working
as an integrated team with
Bruce Power in its $4.25-billion
investment program.
In October 2005, Bruce Power
announced the restart of Units 1
and 2.
Ultimately the four units will
boost Bruce Power’s output to
more than 6,200 MW, making
it potentially the source of
about 25 percent of Ontario’s
electricity.
The restarts will give Bruce
Power enough nuclear
generating capacity to supply
the annual power needs of more
than four million homes.
The units have been designed to
deliver power at the same rate
for another 25 years.
QUICK FACTS:
• Bruce A is a 4 x 750-MW CANDU nuclear
plant commissioned in the 1970s.
• The plant was shut down in the late 90s,
when the demand for power slumped.
• In 2001 Bruce Power opted to restart two of
the Bruce A units (3 and 4) to take advantage
of a revitalized economy.
• In 2005 Bruce Power commenced work to
restart two more units (Units 1 and 2).
