Lepreau: innovation by a small utility

Description
Point Lepreau operations have, to date, been extremely satisfactory and have met the very stringent objectives set by NB Power for the overall nuclear undertaking. Full credit is given to an excellent reactor concept, to the technical support of both AECL and Ontario Hydro, and to the co-operative arrangements undertaken with both Ontario Hydro, and with Hydro-Quebec who also operate a CANDU 600, as major contributors to the success achieved. The often innovative measures outlined in this paper, fully supportive Senior Management, along with a capable and dedicated plant staff, have allowed NB Power to achieve the operating results, and the very real economic benefits to the customers it serves, which were the clearly stated objectives of the nuclear program when it was undertaken
