(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) CAMBRIDGE, Ontario, June 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eclipse Automation, part of Accenture, recently signed multiple contracts related to the design, manufacture and supply of Automated Tooling and Equipment in support of the upcoming CANDU^® nuclear reactor refurbishment projects at Cernavoda, Romania and Qinshan, China. The contracts have a diverse scope that includes the design, manufacture and supply of equipment such as automated inspection tools, radioactive material handling equipment, reactor component retrieval systems, volume reduction systems, state-of-the-art control systems and an internal remote-control center.

“As a long-term player in the nuclear industry, this win further solidifies Eclipse Automations' position as a trusted and reliable partner to AktinsRéalis, and other stakeholders in the nuclear industry,” commented Steve Mai, CEO, Eclipse Automation.“In the last decade, Eclipse has delivered automated solutions and equipment to support nuclear refurbishment work at the Embalse reactor in Argentina, and at the Darlington and Bruce nuclear generating stations in Canada”.

These refurbishment contracts add to the fortification of Canada's nuclear supply chain and expanding its nuclear strengths, two topics which are core to resilience and growth of the Canadian nuclear sector to 2050, according to Accenture's 2050 nuclear futures report.

“Eclipse is a long-standing valued partner, demonstrating commitment to the nuclear industry with a focus on safety, quality, schedule and cost performance; all factors that are critical to the successful refurbishment of CANDU^® reactors globally," said Matthew Ross, Senior Vice- President, International Life Extension, Candu Energy Inc., an AtkinsRéalis company.“Based in Cambridge and part of the Canadians for CANDU campaign, Eclipse is an important partner in our expanding supply chain. I look forward to many more years of successful collaboration.”
