The refurbishment of the Point Lepreau nuclear power plant is delayed by at least another year, putting the project 2 1/2 years behind schedule.
The latest delay today is caused by problems sealing the ends of tubes inside the reactor.
Energy Minister Jack Keir tells us he wants an independent mediation process with Ottawa to examine the contract and decide who pays for the cost overruns.
He says of the 380 tubes-- 80 failed the pressure test, 80 passed and 220 haven't been tested yet.
