AECL Track Record – On Time, On Budget
AECL Has Proven Project Management Expertise – On Time, On Budget
- AECL has been building reactors almost continuously for the past 30 years and has the strongest project management delivery capability of any nuclear vendor in the world.
- A leader among nuclear vendors, AECL has designed, built and delivered six CANDU 6 reactors to international customers in the last decade. All of these projects have been delivered on or ahead of schedule, and on budget.
- The first CANDU unit at China’s Qinshan project took only four and a half years from first concrete to in-service, making it a record for power reactors built in China. The Chinese government has praised it as the best nuclear project in the country’s history.
