A few different developments in the Ontario/Canadian nuclear space since my last update last year:
1. Cameco has been tapped to provide uranium hexafluoride to the Ukraine for fuel fabrication to get them away from Russia.

6. OPG Darlington A Unit 3 is being prepared to return to service. Initial fuel loading started at the beginning of January. This is the 2nd unit to have completed its refurbishment. Unit 1 is also actively being refurbished and Unit 4 is slated to go down the end of this year, and that's the final unit. Ideally, refurbishment staff will then move to Pickering B and start on those units.
