What is Canada's small modular reactor action plan?

Canada's Small Modular Reactor (SMR) Action Plan is Canada's plan for the development, demonstration and deployment of SMRs for multiple applications at home and abroad. SMRs are a promising new technology that could unlock a range of benefits: economic, geopolitical, social, and environmental.

Does Yukon have a power grid?

Data visualization by Natasha Bulowski / Canada’s National Observer Yukon’s main territorial electricity grid runs predominantly on hydro with some help from diesel and LNG power plants — with the exception of five off-grid communities that rely on diesel generation, according to the federal government.

Will Alberta achieve a net-zero grid by 2050?

Premier Danielle Smith says the province will aim for a net-zero grid by 2050: 15 years later than the federal deadline. In 2035, Alberta will need to generate roughly 70 per cent more electricity than it currently does, according to the CER Energy Futures forecast.

Is a micro-modular reactor the future of green energy?

Developed by Global First Power (GFP), the micro-modular reactor is a nuclear-based power source touted as the future of green energy. "One of these reactors that can provide power to 5,000 people for 20 years, will have about one metre cubed of radioactive material [waste]," Jos Diening, CEO of Global First Power told CTV News.

Will small modular nuclear reactors be online in 2042?

The AESO predicts SMRs — small modular nuclear reactors — will be online in 2042. The AESO forecasts electricity generation and capacity, but the final generation mix will be up to the market, because Alberta has a deregulated energy market.

Can Canada achieve net-zero emissions by 2050?

"The nuclear industry is a leader in addressing global challenges, and Bruce Power is committed to decarbonising our economy and helping Canada achieve net-zero emissions by 2050," said Heather Kleb, director of next generation nuclear technology at Bruce Power.
