More time has been lost on the refurbishment project at Point Lepreau. The latest update report has been released by the utility with no exact word on how much time but the last report indicated work was close to six months behind schedule. Crews are currently in the process of removing all 380 feeder tubes from the reactor but no word on when that will be finished.

The plant did receive one of the low pressure turbine rotors over the weekend which has been stored at the Saint John Port since September. The other two low pressure turbine rotors that were dropped into the Harbor last fall are due to be delivered this summer. The billion dollar refurbishment is scheduled to be finished by September.
