​Bruce Power’s annual review highlights its people, innovation, and cancer-fighting medical isotopes

Bruce Power presented its 2024 Annual Review during the Ontario Energy Network Luncheon, Monday (March 3), in Toronto, shining a spotlight on its people, innovation and project work helping to secure a clean energy future for the people of Ontario, and providing cancer-fighting medical isotopes for patients around the world.

The eye-catching annual review, produced by Bruce Power’s communications and graphic design teams, is titled “The Future is Nuclear,” focusing on what the company is doing now to help the province meet its growing electricity needs while also bolstering the economy and producing more and more medical isotopes. It also highlights Bruce Power’s diverse and skilled workforce.

“We’ve got a lot going on at the Bruce Power site and we’re proud of our people and the role we play in providing clean, reliable and affordable electricity in Ontario, and isotopes for the world health-care community,” said Eric Chassard, Bruce Power’s president and chief executive officer.

“I’m proud to share our Annual Report to give you an overview of the innovation that’s happening at Bruce Power, driving our Life-Extension Project forward, growing the economy through our robust Made-in-Ontario supply chain, and helping to fight cancer and sterilize the world’s medical instruments.”

The company’s annual review details the year’s progress on the Life-Extension Program and Major Component Replacement (MCR) project, which continues to be carried out on-plan and with a high degree of quality by Bruce Power, its partners and skilled tradespeople.

In 2024, Bruce Power doubled its capacity to produce Lutetium-177 by adding a second production line in Unit 7 and increased its harvests of Cobalt-60, used to sterilize billions of single-use medical devices and in targeted cancer treatments.

Innovations in robotic tooling, introduced in 2024, are helping skilled tradespeople to carry out their tasks safely and precisely as the Unit 3 MCR project continues to be carried out on-plan, as the company improves from each MCR outage to the next for the duration of the renewal of Units 3-8 over the next decade.

With the ongoing Life-Extension Program, MCR project and Project 2030, Bruce Power is securing a long-term supply of clean electricity to support the province’s growing energy needs.

To further support Ontario’s growth development plans, the company, in 2024, initiated a federal Impact Assessment to create an option to build up to 4,800 megawatts of nuclear capacity at the Bruce Power site, a project referred to as Bruce “C.”
