The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) will hold a public meeting the week of May 25, 2026, in Peterborough and/or virtually, where BWXT will provide a mid-term update on our licensed activities at the Toronto and Peterborough facilities.

BWXT holds two separate Class IB licenses, both of which expire on December 31, 2030. The mid-term update will cover the first five years of the 10-year licensing period for both facilities.

BWXT and CNSC will both present updates during this meeting. Submissions from BWXT and CNSC will be available after February 25, 2026.
