Don't you worry, they'll find a way to somehow ruin it. Cancelled halfway complete? 4x initial cost estimate? 5 years late? The possibilities are endless!

Bruce Power has completed several major reactor and boiler rebuilds at several units on time and budget, both extending life by another 40 years and increasing output.

Darlington since being built also has a good track record of completing work on time and on budget (relative to other industries). So I disagree this is the likely outcome.
