Nuclear plant reviewing bids

POINT LEPREAU, N.B. - A nuclear power plant in New Brunswick is in the market for a pair of large, tank-like vehicles to secure its facilities.

A spokesman for New Brunswick Power says staff at the Point Lepreau nuclear generating station near Saint John, N.B., are reviewing tenders for two new light-armoured vehicles, which typically retail for about $300,000. Marc Belliveau says the nuclear plant is looking to replace its light-armoured vehicles after six years of heavy use from patrolling the facility “all day, every day.”
