Overview

Babcock Canada is pleased to respond to NRCan’s SMR Action Plan and is eager to play a central role in moving this ambitious program forward in a meaningful way.

Overview

Atomic Energy of Canada Limited’s (AECL) Chalk River site was the birthplace of the Canadian nuclear industry over 75 years ago. Historically, AECL developed and designed the highly successful CANDU reactor, which provides clean, reliable baseload power on four continents. In parallel, AECL has maintained and continues to grow a comprehensive R&D program that supports the current Canadian operating fleet, enables new reactor designs and the development of new associated technologies, such as advanced materials and accident tolerant fuels.

Overview

The Atlantic Clean Energy Alliance (ACEA) is a stakeholder consortium of project proponents and other renewable energy developers from the private sector, the University of New Brunswick, NB Power, community partnerships, and government enablers. It is anticipated that the consortium will grow over time.

The Alliance currently consists of:

Overview

The Atlantica Centre for Energy is dedicated to increasing energy literacy for community leaders and stakeholders. The Centre includes leading energy professionals, national and international organizations in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland & Labrador, Ontario, Alberta, and Prince Edward Island.

Overview

ARC Nuclear Canada Inc. (ARC Canada), being a technology company, was built upon a vision by its founders to provide an inherently safe, reliable, affordable, and environmentally friendly energy source that is flexible and deals with waste. ARC Canada’s intention is to fully develop and implement an inclusive Canadian manufacturing hub and supply chain with a fabrication facility based in New Brunswick to build and transport the ARC-100 technology in Canada and worldwide.

About Alithya

Qulliq Energy Corporation (QEC) is committed to providing safe, reliable, and affordable energy across the territory of Nunavut. Canada's newest, largest and most northern territory is almost 100% dependent on diesel fuel for power generation and a small amount of district heat, through the operation of 25 stand‐alone diesel power plants in 25 remote fly-in Arctic communities.

Overview

We are an industry leader

Aecon is Canada's largest nuclear constructor currently employing 2000+ highly skilled workforce. As an industry leader with 50 years of the successful history of building nuclear infrastructure, 413 approved Canadian supplier base, and 300+ qualified nuclear procedures, we are well-positioned for the development and construction of the Small Modular Reactor (SMR). Aecon's reputation for reliability, safety, and performance has made us a preferred Canadian top-tier contractor and a partner of choice.

Overview

Canada has an opportunity to build on its existing nuclear expertise to contribute meaningfully to a clean energy future that elevates the quality of life for people in Canada and worldwide, while strengthening global environmental sustainability.

Small modular reactors, alone or working with other advanced nuclear and renewable technologies, have tremendous potential to contribute to low-carbon energy systems that will contribute to those goals.

Overview

The global drive for low-carbon energy sources, combined with a growing worldwide energy consumption, is a challenge to which nuclear energy, in combination with renewables such as wind and solar, provides a realistic, sustainable solution. Canada has an opportunity to position itself at the forefront of advanced nuclear reactor designs, given substantial investment in the development of small nuclear modular reactors (SMRs).  Queen’s University is committed to the principles outlined in Canada’s SMR Roadmap.
