Canada Needs Nuclear Power To Meet Carbon Emissions Reduction Targets
Colleen d’Entremont says the development of small modular reactors would also give New Brunswick an economic boost.
Colleen d’Entremont says the development of small modular reactors would also give New Brunswick an economic boost.
Since 1983, the CEOs of the two companies designing small modular reactors in New Brunswick say nuclear power has been providing the province with a safe supply of electricity and much-needed jobs.
Blaine Higgs said the Progressive Conservatives have a plan to further develop SMRs noting a memorandum of understanding signed last year with the provinces of Ontario and Saskatchewan.
SMR technology development is an opportunity to develop the economy and lower greenhouse gas emissions, says Norman JD Sawyer, CEO of ARC Nuclear Canada.
New Brunswick, Saskatchewan and Ontario recently signed a deal to work together on developing Small Modular Technology (SMR) that claims to generate clean and low-cost nuclear energy.
