AECL Turns To Ottawa To Cover $100-Million Overrun
13 February 2009
GLOBAL ENERGY REPORTER(OTTAWA) - A cash shortfall forced Ottawa to give $100 million to AECL, Ltd. An AECL spokes woman said the work of retooling a nuclear reactor is "highly complex," and the company ran into "unforseen technical challenges" but is working to get back on track. The money comes in addition to $351 million allocated by the federal budget to continue design work and maintenance on the Chalk River facility. Critics believe, because of this, the Ontario government should be weary of purchasing a new reactor from AECL.
