The first steam generator has been removed from Bruce unit 6, marking a significant milestone in the Major Component Replacement (MCR) project. The unit is the first of six which are to be refurbished as part of a programme to secure the operation of the eight-unit site in Ontario until 2064.

Unit 6 contains eight steam generators, arranged vertically in two columns of four on the east and west side of the reactor. Each steam generator weighs about 320,000 pounds (145 tonnes). The steam generators was lifted through a port in the roof of the reactor building using a the 1600-tonne capacity Mammoet PTC-35 crane, one of the largest in the world. New steam generators, fabricated at BWXT in Cambridge, Ontario and shipped to the Bruce site late last year, will then be lifted into place.
