A report card from the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission gives Bruce Power A and B stations a Fully Satisfactory rating.
Both Bruce A and Bruce B were found to be fully satisfactory for health, safety, waste management, security and operating performance.
"This is the first year both of our stations have been deemed to be fully satisfactory, now that Bruce A has joined Bruce B with this prestigious ranking," saysLen Clewett, Bruce Power's chief nuclear officer. "Since the Units 1 and 2 refurbishment project was completed in 2012, staff have worked extremely hard to improve the reliability of Bruce A, while always maintaining our Number 1 value of Safety First. We are seeing the fruits of their labour today, as we celebrate this achievement across the Bruce Power team."
Bruce Power says the rates equal an A+ mark.
Ten other areas rated by the CNSC were deemed satisfactory.
Chief Nuclear Officer Len Clewett says they will strive to receive fully satisfactory marks in all 16 categories.
"A nuclear power plant is only as good as its last week, day and hour," he says. "We live and work in a culture of continuous improvement, and we will take the CNSC's ratings and evaluate areas we can do even better in future years."
