Bruce Power Selects SmartSignal to Support Critical Nuclear Plant Equipment

LISLE, Ill.--(Business Wire)--
SmartSignal Corporation today announced that it has been selected by Bruce Power
to install its predictive-analytic software at the Bruce facility in Ontario,
Canada.

The software will be used at the Bruce A and B generating stations, which each
house four CANDU reactors and constitute approximately 6,200 MW total generation
capacity. The project scope includes licensing with full implementation, in
addition to long-term maintenance and monitoring services through SmartSignal`s
Availability and Performance Center.

The project will be implemented in three phases. In Phase one, to be delivered
by mid 2009, Bruce Power will deploy a SmartSignal solution through a pilot of
six key systems in six of the operating units - this will allow the Performance
Engineering group to view trending information of how these six key systems are
performing. In Phase two, by fall of 2009, Bruce Power will implement the
SmartSignal predictive-analytic solution in all the key systems and components
of the six operating units - a solution that will automatically collect and
analyze process data for their Performance Engineering Group to provide early
warning trending information of potential equipment failure. Finally, in Phase
three, the SmartSignal EPI*Center solution will be implemented across Bruce`s
two remaining nuclear units, currently being refurbished and projected to
restart in 2010.

According to SmartSignal CEO Jim Gagnard, "Bruce Power did an exhaustive search
of the market and a comprehensive review of capabilities before choosing
SmartSignal to provide predictive analytics for all their nuclear plants.
SmartSignal was chosen because we provide early detection of equipment and
process failures; in-house and flexible services; a strong implementation
roadmap; and a large and satisfied customer base. We`re pleased to be working
with Bruce Power, and we look forward to a long and productive relationship of
keeping their nuclear facilities safe and productive."

From Bruce Power`s Project Director, Mel Poy, Bruce Power assembled a team to
define the requirements and recommend the packaged solution through a
competitive vendor selection process. The objective of the selected
predictive-analytic solution from SmartSignal is to optimize performance and
improve equipment health through Bruce Power`s ECPM (equipment condition and
performance monitoring) project. This project is part of a company strategy
sponsored by the Executive Team and key Engineering and Operations Senior
Managers to ensure that Bruce Power has world-class processes and systems in
place to support the effective operations of the eight units on site.
SmartSignal was selected as one of the key foundation elements of the Company`s
Equipment Reliability Strategy.
