It was to have important effects on various nuclear programs around the world.

The year was also an important one for Canada’s nuclear industry as well. There was a very large reorganization of Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) which saw the power reactor division of the company established as a separate business unit and sold to SNC Lavalin Inc and established as a new company, Candu Energy Inc.

Canada’s nuiclear reactor fleet performed well during the year. Strong progress was made on the refurbishment of CANDU reactors, specifically Bruce Units 1 and 2 in , and Point Lepreau in . During the year, the Korea Electric Power Company (KEPCO) also completed its refurbishment of its Wolsong 1 reactor, becoming the world’s first utility to complete the refurbishment of a Chalk River Laboratories CANDU 6 reactor.

Darlington site was completed. The joint federal-provincial review panel released its findings, concluding there were no adverse environmental impacts from the proposed construction at the site.

Three reactors continued their refurbish- ment programs, Point Lepreau, and Bruce Units 1 and 2. Bruce Unit 2 completed its construction activities on January 24, 2011, while work was completed on April 29. For both units, commissioning actvity commenced. Bruce Unit 2 completed fuel loading on July 11, while fuel loading was completed in Unit 1 on November 30. Refilling the reactors with was underway before the end of the year. Both units are expected to return to full service in 2012. With respect to Point Lepreau, it completed its fuel channel replacement on November 13. This reactor too is expected to return to service in 2012.

With respect to CANDU reactors outside Canada, performance during the year was also very good, as shown in the CANDU 6 reactor performance table. Seven of eleven CANDU 6 reactors performed well over 90 per cent capacity factor for the year. One of the oldest of the CANDU 6 reactors, Wolsong 1, completed its refurbishment activity during 2011. The reactor was restarted on June 3, achieving full power by July 18. The reactor was shut down for refurbishment in April 2009.

Following the choice in 1944 of Chalk River as the site for a nuclear laboratory, a small reactor named ZEEP (from Zero Energy Experimental Pile) using natural uranium rods in a vessel of heavy water, was built to test the concept.

The initial NPD fuelling machine used internal hydraulic drives to preclude the problem of seals. There were a number of “teething” problems with the original fuelling machines and the first successful on-power refuelling did not take place until November 24, 1963. The system was not fully in service until 1964.

The original machines were replaced in 1969 by ones using an alternative arrangement developed for the prototype Douglas Point plant, involving ball screws and special shaft seals. This Mark II design was installed in 1969 and operated success- fully for the balance of the life of the plant. Subsequent CANDU fuelling machines have used this concept. Fuel The fuel design chosen was a bundle 50 cm. long composed of seven elements of 2.5 cm. diameter. Some bundles with 19 smaller diameter elements were placed in the centre of the core where the flux was the highest. For the early fuel, wire wrapping was used to separate the elements and enhance NPD today, former training centre in foreground mixing of the coolant. A modification was

The RSAC/AECB accepted the concept with the stipulation that if the “vacuum building” became unavailable all units connected to it would have to shut down.

In 1965, HEPC decided to add two more units to the Pickering station. For those units a different zirconium alloy, using , was used for the pressure tubes, a choice which has continued. Zr – Nb is more resistant to stress-corrosion cracking.

In 1969, before the completion of the first four units at Pickering, HEPC decided to build a four-unit station near the Douglas Point unit. It was called Bruce, after the name of the County. HEPC became the primary designer with AECL-NPPD contracted for the reactor design. The power of each unit was increased over those of Pickering to 750 MWe.

A major design change was the use of square reactor buildings.
