BWXT Completes Cambridge Facility Expansion, Prepares for Future Nuclear New Build

John MacQuarrie, President, BWXT Commercial Operations

“Today's announcement represents far more than an expansion of our facility. It is a major step to solidify our company's place in the global nuclear resurgence. By increasing our manufacturing capacity in Cambridge, we are helping ensure we have the industrial capability needed to support major nuclear projects, strengthen energy security, advance climate goals and compete in a growing global market.”

Tim Hodgson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, Government of Canada

“Canada’s future will be powered by reliable, affordable and clean electricity. BWXT’s completion of their expansion in Cambridge is exactly the kind of progress our Nuclear Energy Strategy is designed to catalyze: investments that create highly skilled Canadian jobs, strengthen our nuclear supply chain, and expand the domestic manufacturing capacity needed to support the next generation of nuclear projects in Ontario and beyond.”

Stephen Lecce, Ontario Minister of Energy and Mines

“Ontario’s nuclear buildout is helping to reindustrialize Ontario as we drive manufacturing investment and jobs to the province. Ontario’s long-term energy expansion has helped spur this $80 million expansion by BWXT, as Ontario starts the refurbishment of the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station and builds the first Small Modular Reactor in the G7. The first mover advantage is positioning Ontario’s supply chain at the centre of the global nuclear buildout — a key part of our plan to create 150,000 new good-paying Canadian jobs.”
