The Darlington Refurbishment was completed four months ahead of schedule and $150 million under budget.

The Bruce Refurbishment was completed seven month ahead of schedule and also $150 million under budget.

The Darlington SMR project is running smoothly.

Further down the line lined up is a reburishment for the Pickering Plant, life extensions into the 2060s, and scoping for a new build at Bruce.

These successes and future plans show a major revitalization of the Canadian nuclear industry, which is incredible considering the recent struggles of the industry in the western world. Hopefully, the United States can take a page or two from the Canadian playbook if V.C. Summer Units 2 and 3 construction resumes along with other potential new builds.

Interesting to see the chair of the NRC give more interviews like this.
