Triad Isotopes – Your Trusted Advisor for Industry Updates

The National Research Universal (NRU) reactor will experience an extended shutdown for inspection and maintenance this month. Atomic Energy of Canada Limited has currently scheduled the shutdown for May 15 to June 17, 2011.

• This break in operations will last approximately one month and will allow AECL to execute activities that cannot otherwise be performed during the window provided in its regular five-day shutdowns.
• The inspections are being undertaken to assess the repaired areas and measure the effectiveness of corrosion mitigation measures that were implemented during the 15-month forced outage for the vessel leak repair (May 2009-August 2010).
