3. OPG has submitted a license to construct the above BWRX-300 at Darlington. Site prep is already well underway.
4. OPG's Pickering page has been updated with points about the potential refurbishment:

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.

Ideally, refurbishment staff will then move to Pickering B and start on those units.
7. Bruce Power Unit 3 has gone down for refurbishment. This is the 3rd A unit to be refurbished (1 and 2 were completed in 2013):
