The refurbishment project at Point Lepreau continues to run behind schedule. An update from NB Power today says the removal of all 380 of the pressure tubes from the reactor is complete with the next phase of work set to get started. The bad news is, things are still running behind schedule with a series of delays pushing completion of the project from September into, at least December, or possibly next year.
The main generator rotor that was dropped into the Saint John Harbor last fall is scheduled to arrive at the plant next month. NB Power says it is working closely with the fishing community to map out the best route for delivering the massive piece of machinery from the Port.
