OPG contracts SNC-Lavalin’s PRECISE tool for Darlington nuclear station
Ontario Power Generation (OPG) has awarded a contract to Montreal-based SNC-Lavalin for the first commercial deployment of a newly developed nuclear reactor inspection tool, dubbed Pressure Tube Circumferential Sampling Equipment (PRECISE).
The contract entails the detailed design, fabrication, manufacturing and deployment of the new tool at OPG’s Darlington nuclear generating station, starting early next year. SNC-Lavalin has developed PRECISE to take samples of reactor core materials, allowing for in situ life assessment of the pressure boundary material of the fuel channel assemblies.
Today we spotlight one of our 150 dedicated volunteers that make the work at the association possible. Thank you Angela Smith for your passion and efforts with your engineering community and CEO.

A Rising Tide - The Economic Impact of B.C.’s Liquified Natural Gas Industry
B.C. is becoming the focal point for a new Canadian industry— liquefied natural gas (LNG). Canada produces almost twice as much natural gas as it uses. Liquefying and exporting natural gas offers an important diversification opportunity, especially when our traditional export market—the United States—is becoming increasingly self-sufficient. LNG-based natural gas prices in Asia-Pacific markets have been higher than North American prices for over a decade. Moving Canadian natural gas into those markets could provide Canadian
natural gas producers and LNG investors with higher returns.
This report by the Conference Board of Canada highlights important factors regarding the economic impact of liquefied natural gas to Canada.
