(2009 February 27) AECL has completed and delivered its Ontario bid submission to Infrastructure Ontario. The proposal is the product of 11 months of work by a core team of employees from across AECL.

On Friday afternoon, Infrastructure Ontario sent out a news release to say it had received proposals from all three bid candidates. The next step involves evaluation of the proposals by a team led by Infrastructure Ontario.

According to Infrastructure Ontario's release, the project is using an innovative approach by selecting a nuclear vendor based on pre-established commercial terms, including lifetime cost of power, ability to deliver on schedule, and level of economic investment in Ontario.
