Bruce Power Radiation Protection – Our role in site operations and the future of Bruce Power

Situated on the shore of Lake Huron, Bruce Power provides nuclear power to one in three homes, hospitals, schools and businesses in Ontario and medical isotopes across the globe to keep medical equipment sterilized and assist in fighting disease. Bruce Power’s Life-Extension Program and Major Component Replacement Project are extending the life of the reactor units, and the site, into the future. This will power the province for years to come and set the stage for continued innovations in the production of life-saving medical isotopes. As Ontario prepares for the future through its Powering Ontario’s Growth plan, Bruce Power has initiated a federal Impact Assessment (IA) for the Bruce C project. The project aims to create an option to build up to 4,800 megawatts of nuclear capacity at the Bruce Power site. To complete this work safely, Bruce Power manages a strong Radiation Protection Program.

Zach Brajuha is the RP Director at Bruce Power and will be providing insights into the role Radiation Protection plays in operations and the future of Bruce Power.
