NB Power tweeting earlier today that the Point Lepreau Generating Station is temporarily reducing power to allow adjustments to re-fuelling equipment.
The move is necessary to allow adjustments to be made to equipment associated with re-fuelling the reactor.
Site VP and Chief Nuclear Officer Sean Granville says the restart of the station has gone extremely well given all the factors involved and they have been very pleased with reactor performance to date.
Before Point Lepreau came back online in November of 2012, the reactor was filled with new fuel.
Granville says they have now reached the point in the operation of the Station that online fuelling is required on an ongoing basis to sustain the operation.
