Here are more details:
The three-year contract with Ontario Power Generation covers engineering, design, project delivery and program and project management associated with the retube, feeder and boiler replacement work, AtkinsRealis said.
The company's share of the contract will be added to its nuclear backlog in the third quarter.
The refurbishment is expected to enable Unit 5 to operate into the 2060s.
The Unit 5 work is the first phase of a broader refurbishment of four reactors at the Pickering station.
Similar work on Units 6, 7 and 8 is planned, subject to regulatory approval.
