May 2, 2014 - Ottawa
The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) has extended for seven months the power reactor operating licences for the Bruce Nuclear Generating Stations A and B located in the municipality of Kincardine, Ontario.
As a result, public hearings for the renewal of Bruce Power’s operating licences are now tentatively scheduled for February 4 or 5, 2015 in Ottawa (Part 1) and April 14-16, 2015 in Kincardine (Part 2).
Bruce Power had requested the extension to ensure that all relevant documentation was available in time to facilitate more meaningful public participation in the upcoming public hearing process that had originally been scheduled for September 2014.
The Record of Proceedings, Including Reasons for Decision from the hearing on the extension that was held on April 24, 2014, has been published on the CNSC website.
The CNSC regulates the use of nuclear energy and materials to protect the health, safety and security of Canadians and the environment; to implement Canada’s international commitments on the peaceful use of nuclear energy; and to disseminate objective scientific, technical and regulatory information to the public.
