  • Highlighting the partnership between Capital Power and Ontario Power Generation (OPG) to assess the viability of building small modular power reactors by 2035
  • Appreciating how SMR’s (less than 300MW) competitive with other low-carbon forms of energy
  • Evaluating the potential for SMR’s in on-grid, off-grid communities, and in oilsands and mining
  • Understanding the collaboration between Alberta and Saskatchewan on nuclear power generation, workforce development, nuclear supply chain, the security of supply of nuclear fuels, and the development and regulation of nuclear reactor technologies such as small modular reactors (SMRs)
