The long delayed refurbishment of the Point Lepreau nuclear power plant is scheduled to be finished by September but will that be the end of the shutdowns?
David Coon of the Conservation Council doesn’t think so. He predicts there will be another shutdown within a year or so of returning to service.
Coon bases his prediction on the mix of new and old equipment which he maintains will translate into mechanical problems.
He argues the plant was never designed to last fifty years and he predicts periodic shutdowns will be the norm.
