Bruce Power officials admit there could be a substantial delay in their project to ship steam generators on the Great Lakes to Sweden.
In the latest move, the Sierra Club, which has been against the project and the Canadian Environmental Law Association have brought a judicial review request against the decision of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC).
The Vice President of Corporate Affairs for Bruce Power, Murray Elston, says the request asks the federal court to review the decision to see if the CNSC overstepped its jurisdiction or if law had been misinterpreted.
Elston says Bruce Power was also named as a party in the request because it was a CNSC decision based on the Bruce Power application.
As a result, Bruce Power will be part of the defence of the CNSC decision.
When asked if this, along with the First Nations requests for consultations could delay the project for another year, Murray just said the delay could be substantial.
Bruce Power wants to ship 16 decommissioned steam generators to Sweden for recycling.
