Bruce Power
What We Do
In addition to producing enough carbon-free electricity to power one third of the homes, businesses and hospitals in Ontario, Canada, Bruce Power contributes to the world’s health care system through its decades of isotope production, a legacy it continues to build upon. Since 1986, cobalt-60 has been produced at the Bruce Power site.
In 2022, Bruce Power took another leap forward in its isotope program, expanding capabilities to supply cancer-fighting isotopes through the installation of a first-of-a-kind Isotope Production System (IPS) in one of its commercial nuclear power reactors for the production of a short-lived isotope, lutetium-177. This innovation was made possible through partnerships with Isogen (a Kinectrics and Framatome company), which designed and manufactured the IPS and with ITM, which processes and distributes medical isotopes.
Bruce Power also has a historic partnership with Saugeen Ojibway Nation, which recently expanded. In 2025, SON invested $250M in the isotope business, which will provide sustainable long-term revenues to SON communities for decades to come. As we look to the future, the unique design of the IPS offers flexibility in function, opening the door to a range of development opportunities.
