The Conservation Council of New Brunswick is urging NB Power and the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission to release the results of the safety inspection done at the Point Lepreau nuclear power plant.Executive Director David Coon tells CHSJ News, the results need to be made public to ensure accountability, and maintain public confidence.Coon says the condition of the welding work keeping the housing together is a major concern.
Coon says at a public hearing into the Lepreau Refurbishment, former Vice President of NB Power Nuclear Rod White described the discovery of faults in the reactor welds as a “show stopper” for the refurbishment.
