Mid-Term Review Meeting with CNSC

The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) will hold a public meeting the week of May 25, 2026, in Peterborough and/or virtually, where BWXT Nuclear Energy Canada Inc. (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.



More information about participant funding and interventions can be found in the CNSC’s Notice linked below.

At BWXT in Toronto we manufacture ceramic pellets from natural uranium dioxide powder. After pressing, baking, grinding and inspecting the pellets, we send them to our Peterborough facility where they are placed in CANDU® fuel bundles. Both our Peterborough and Toronto facilities are licensed by Canada’s nuclear regulator, the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC). Approximately 40 people work at BWXT in Toronto in high-value manufacturing positions, engineering and operations support. The pellets manufactured by our employees in Toronto are placed into fuel bundles in Peterborough and go on to power 25% of Ontario!
