Jingoli personnel planned and managed projects for Bruce Power in the reactor vaults of Units 1 & 2 during the Bruce A Restart project. These projects were on the Critical Path immediately after reactor refueling, and were conducted around the clock in a Zone 3 Radiological Area using three-hour work crew jumps to minimize time of exposure.

The projects consisted of:

  • Reversal of temporary modifications on the east and west reactor faces made during the retube of the Unit 1 and Unit 2 Calandrias
  • Modification of the fueling machine bridge Y-drive
  • Disconnection and removal of the temporary power supplies and fueling machine bridge Y-Drive modifications
  • Installation of the X and Y-Drive power supplies, limit switches, and panels
  • Modifications to the service and breathing air systems
  • Removal of the vault bulkhead and the working platform at the reactor face
  • Performing an extensive rebuild and reinstallation of the reactor area bridge and carriage
  • Execution of the vault pressure test
  • Decontamination and storage of all removed components
