Velan Inc. has secured a valve order exceeding CAD 20 million from Ontario Power Generation (OPG) to supply Emergency Cooling Injection (ECI) valves for the refurbishment of three reactors at the Pickering Nuclear Generation Station, one of the world’s largest nuclear facilities.
These critical valves, rated ASME III Class 1, represent the highest standards of safety and reliability in their category. Velan originally supplied these valves over 45 years ago and has continuously supported Pickering through its construction and refurbishment programs.
The first shipment is scheduled for January 2027, with subsequent deliveries expected by January 31, 2028.
“Velan is proud to continue our partnership with OPG, supporting Canadian nuclear innovation and advancing CANDU technology,” said James Mannebach, CEO. “This order reflects our commitment to safety, reliability, and a sustainable energy future for Canada and beyond.”
This project aligns with global efforts to expand clean energy capacity and reinforces Velan’s legacy as a trusted nuclear industry supplier for over 75 years.
