Even though there is no confirmed finish date to the project, the Energy Minister says he is encouraged by the latest word from Atomic Energy of Canada Limited.
The group says the refit job at Point Lepreau is now 75% complete 380 tubes in the heart of the reactor have been replaced, but crews are having trouble getting a proper seal on them.
Jack Keir tells CHSJ News, no one is more concerned about this file than he is.
Keir says in fairness to AECL, it's tough for them to come up with an end date to the project when they are still trying to solve a major issue.
The project is roughly 18 months behind schedule.
