History and Legacy
GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GEH) is a world-leading provider of advanced reactors, fuel and nuclear services. The global nuclear alliance created by GE and Hitachi combines GE’s design expertise and history of delivering reactors, fuels and services with Hitachi’s proven experience in advanced modular construction.
Fluor is a global engineering, procurement, construction, and maintenance (EPCM) company with 72 years’ experience executing energy and industrial projects in Canada. Our 44,000 employees, over 6 continents, makes Fluor diverse by nature. We leverage the global power of this diversity to build an inclusive culture with intention to build sustainable competitive advantage, deliver superior results for our clients, and build a better world. We are who we are because of our people.
The university community plays an important part in Canada’s diverse nuclear sector. Universities carry out necessary education and training for developing nuclear professionals, and broader capacity-building through post-graduate education, and experience gained in research. University research itself is an important contribution, through a world-class array of facilities, led by highly regarded research leads and professors. Research addresses lower-TRL innovative studies and fundamental topics, complementing larger-scale research at national labs.
United is an engineering and construction company created through the divestment by AECOM of its Power Business Unit. We partner with our clients in the public and private sectors to solve their most complex challenges and build legacies for generations to come.

Ultra Safe Nuclear Corporation (USNC) is a leading developer of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and associated nuclear fuels. It was founded in 2011 by a team of highly specialized material scientists, physicists, and engineers. USNC’s Canadian operations are headquartered in Ottawa, and together with its corporate head office in Seattle, USA, and satellite offices in South Africa, Europe/UK and South Korea, USNC’s global team now numbers over 50 employees.
As the Canadian subsidiary of the global nuclear supply chain company Urenco, U-Battery Canada Limited is dedicated to the advancement of nuclear innovation through the development and deployment of SMRs. U-Battery’s advanced SMR aims to replace diesel power with clean, safe, and cost-effective energy for a variety of applications, including remote communities and other off-grid locations such as mining operations in northern regions.
The Town of Deep River is a diverse, vibrant and forward-thinking community of approximately 4,500 citizens, located in Renfrew County on the shores of the beautiful Ottawa River, a few kilometeres west of the Chalk River Laboratories - Canada’s premier nuclear science and innovation facility. Established in 1945 in parallel with the Chalk River Laboratories, location of the first nuclear reactors in Canada (Zeep, NRX, NRU), The Town of Deep River has been home to many of the brightest scientific minds in Canada – including four Nobel Laureates.
