The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) announced Monday that it will amend the licensing basis for Bruce Power to increase intermediate power levels at the Bruce A and Bruce B nuclear generating stations.
The Commission determined Bruce Power is qualified to carry on the authorized activities and that the health and safety of the public and the environment will be protected.
The change authorizes Bruce Power to operate Bruce A at up to 95.5 percent full power and Bruce B at up to 96 percent. Previously, the stations were authorized to operate at up to 92.5 percent and 93 percent, respectively.
The decision followed submissions from Bruce Power, CNSC staff and 13 intervenors.
