Clean Growth and a Robust Economy – It is Possible

Once commercialized, an SMR production program brings additional benefits to New Brunswick as part of the pan-Canadian program to grow the low-carbon economy of the future. [...] The Government of New Brunswick is participating in the Canadian strategy for the development of Small Modular Reactor technology. [...] New Brunswick, Ontario and Saskatchewan are part of a Memorandum of Understanding to work cooperatively for the development and deployment of SMRs in Canada, and Alberta has indicated they will soon join in. [...] Locally, a consortium of project proponents in nuclear and renewable energy and others representing the community, academia, the private and public sector, joined together to seize the opportunities and benefits of SMR development in New Brunswick. [...] New Brunswick will be the centre of activity for the development of the advanced 4th-generation SMR technology in the 2020-2035 time period.
