The Bruce A Restart

The largest nuclear power facility in North America happens to be in Canada. Two seperate 4 reactor stations make up the Bruce Power facility and the units are getting a little long in the tooth.

So... they've decided to start doing a refit on them.

For anyone who has had experience with nuclear reactors, I think you might find these videos of interest- on how to handle working on highly radioactive parts without glowing blue at the end of a day.

The answer is, of course, robotics.

Or, if you just like big honking cranes mixed with delicate computer work, these might give you some entertainment as well.

Hope you enjoy watching them.
