The opposition Tories have hit a brickwall in attempts to get an independent review of the Point Lepreau upgrade.
The project is running about five-and-a-half months behind schedule with the reactor now scheduled to come back online early next year.

Keir says N-B Power has been open and transparent about the progress of the complex retubing of the reactor and associated work.
