You may recall that that was the day that a nor\u2019easter hit much of Canada\u2019s East Coast; a blizzard with winds reaching upwards of 150 km\/h. The storm, described by meteorologists as a \u201cwinter hurricane,\u201d or \u201ca nasty spring weather bomb,\u201d also hit Point Lepreau, where the station is located on the northern shore of the Bay of Fundy.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2964 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/talknuclear.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/PL-image.jpg\" alt=\"PL image\" width=\"375\" height=\"250\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Despite being hit by the worst storm in over 10 years, it was business as usual at the Point Lepreau Generating Station. Staff went about their daily business in the calm, deliberate manner that they are accustomed to. Control room operators adjusted their plans in anticipation of the storm, planning to review them more frequently as the storm develops; their goal to continue to provide safe, reliable power to New Brunswickers. The station is the backbone of New Brunswick\u2019s electrical grid, providing 25-35 per cent of the provinces\u2019 power supply, but as much as 40 per cent when conditions demand it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-2965 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/talknuclear.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Heather-at-PL.jpg\" alt=\"Heather at PL\" width=\"379\" height=\"253\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em;\">The significance of their response to the storm was not lost on station staff. Having just come through a rigorous assessment of lessons learned from the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, the station had recently reaffirmed its ability to respond to seismic, fire, flood and extreme weather events. As you can tell from this photo of me in my Personal Protective Equipment, all was well in the turbine hall that day, as well as the rest of the station.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Heather Kleb Vice President Canadian Nuclear Association On March 25, 2014, I had the pleasure of meeting with staff of the Point Lepreau Generating Station in New Brunswick.
