Ugrades To Point Lepreau On Track

An update on the Point Lepreau refurbishment: according to the latest release from NB Power, more than 60 percent of the calandria tubes are installed  -- with a completion date of August -- and fuel channel installation is set to be finished by December.

The plant is on track to be up and running by the fall of 2012.

The refit was originally to be completed in September 2009 but was hit with several delays.  

Costs are one billion dollars over budget.
