Bruce Power launches licence-renewal booklet

As part of its licence-renewal process, Bruce Power has released a book for members of the public who are interested in the upcoming 2018 Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) hearings.

The 2018 Licence-Renewal Briefing provides an overview of Bruce Power and facilitates public engagement in the hearings. Next year, the CNSC will hold a two-part public hearing on the application by Bruce Power to renew, for a period of 10 years, its power reactor operating licence for Bruce A and B.

The current licence authorizes the company to generate electricity from its eight reactor units and produce Cobalt-60 from the four units housed in Bruce B.

The booklet is just one way Bruce Power is engaging the public in its licence-renewal process. In-person engagement sessions, webinars and a Facebook group are other ways the company is involving the community in this process.
