Bruce Power’s Major Component Replacement (MCR) Program wants your ideas and lessons learned. The “MCR Innovation Initiative” is launching this month in an effort to crowdsource ideas for all future nuclear refurbishments.
Bruce Power is inviting industry stakeholders, vendor partners, and nuclear workers from around the globe to submit ideas that will influence processes, procedures, and the execution of work.
To submit your idea, fill out the SurveyMonkey form on the Bruce Power MCR Innovation Initiative website (http://www.brucepower.com/suppliers/mcr-innovation-initiative/) All submissions will be confidentially reviewed by an internal panel. If an idea qualifies for the initiative, you will be contacted by a member of the MCR team.
ABOUT THE MAJOR COMPONENT REPLACEMENT PROGRAM
Bruce Power’s Major Component Replacement (MCR) Program is responsible for implementing and executing the refurbishment of Units 3-8 over the next 13 years. Working with the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) and the Ministry of Energy, Bruce Power established the coordinated MCR refurbishment schedule, which commences with Unit 6 in 2020. The integrated MCR schedule for Unit 6 is 48 months while successive units are scheduled with incremental improvements to cost and schedule. By completing the Major Component Replacement Program, Bruce Power will secure the long-term future of the site and ensure a competitive cost of electricity for Ontario ratepayers.
