"Our main focus of this outage will be inspections and maintenance of both nuclear and non-nuclear components," said Gregory Smith, senior vice- president Darlington Nuclear. "At regular intervals we take units off-line to inspect, maintain and upgrade various components to ensure the continued safe operation of the plant."
Prior to the outage, Unit 2 had been operating for 403 continuous days and produced 8.03 TWh(1) of electricity. As of the end of February the unit's year to date performance had been near perfect, having operated at 99.8 per cent capability factor. During that time the unit produced 1.24 TWh of electricity - enough electricity to run a city close to the size of Oshawa for about a year. The Unit has a rated capacity of 935 megawatts.
"Spring outages are important because they allow us to conduct inspections as well as do maintenance in advance of the heavy electricity demands of the summer," added Smith. "During this maintenance period we will be completing a reactor side inspection program as well as maintenance and repair work. On the conventional side of the station inspections and maintenance will be conducted on the turbine/generator and boiler systems."
