Q&A with Minister Tim Hodgson on Canada’s Nuclear Future

With a world-class nuclear ecosystem spanning uranium, reactor technology, engineering and a highly skilled workforce, Minister Tim Hodgson says Canada has an opportunity to build big at home while exporting its expertise to the world.

Powering Canada’s Nuclear Future

From smart devices to industrial electrification, energy demand is soaring, and Cameco’s design-ready AP1000 reactor offers Canada a proven nuclear solution. Quick Google searches providing AI results. Coffee makers requiring a Wi-Fi connection. Phones, tablets, watches, rings, trackers lined up and plugged in.  As basic appliances become smarter and multiple personal devices become the norm,...

Nuclear Demand Is Here: Where Will the Uranium Come From?

As nuclear capacity expands globally, constrained uranium supply is creating an opportunity for Canada to help meet growing demand.  As nuclear capacity expands globally, constrained uranium supply is creating a new opportunity for Canada to help meet growing demand. Today, approximately 400 gigawatts of nuclear generating capacity supplies just under 10 per cent of the...

How Canada Can Turn Its Nuclear Ambition into Action

At the birthplace of Canada’s nuclear industry, Canadian Nuclear Laboratories helps move nuclear technologies from the laboratory to real-world deployment. Canada, like the world, faces a growing energy challenge. The projected doubling of electricity demand by 2050 has intensified the focus on energy security and decarbonization. Efforts to identify reliable sources of clean energy to...

How Universities Are Helping Close the Nuclear Skills Gap

As nuclear power’s role in Canada’s energy grid grows, the University of New Brunswick is helping close the industry’s critical skills gap. When it comes to clean energy, Canada is mostly green, with an 80 per cent clean grid. But with the growth in electricity demand across Canada over the coming decades, nuclear power is...

 Why Canada’s Nuclear Choice Is Also a Supply Chain Choice 

Decisions about reactor technology and who delivers it will shape Canada’s supply chain, energy security, jobs, and export opportunities.  Amid increasing geopolitical instability and the potential for supply disruptions, ensuring Canada’s energy security and resilience has never been more important.  Canada needs more clean, reliable baseload electricity. The federal government recently announced plans to build...

Why Canada’s Nuclear Future Depends on Its Supply Chain 

Canada’s nuclear ambitions depend on a strong domestic supply chain prepared to deliver projects and create lasting benefits for Canadians. The momentum behind Canada’s nuclear sector has never been stronger, with massive refurbishment projects being completed ahead of schedule, major construction milestones being achieved at the Darlington New Nuclear Project, and the release of a...

How Nuclear Science And Technology Is Fueling Innovation

With nuclear playing an ever-increasing role in life-saving medical technology and Canada’s clean-energy mix, capitalizing on the exchange of information in nuclear science and technology is critical.  For almost 50 years, the Canadian Nuclear Society (CNS) has been the trusted community for exchanging ideas and advancing nuclear science and engineering, education, and professional development.  ...

Why Digital Sovereignty Matters for Canada’s Nuclear Future

As Canada raises the bar on critical infrastructure security through C-8 and CIREN, sovereign, certified, mission-critical communications are becoming essential in the nuclear sector. Critical infrastructure — from energy and transportation to financial services, telecommunications, and more — is becoming increasingly digital, and dependent on software. In the context of advanced AI-powered cyber threats, building resilient...
