The governments of Saskatchewan and Alberta in Canada have signed an additional memorandum of understanding to advance the development and deployment of nuclear power plants as they look for ways to secure a supply of reliable and sustainable electricity generation by 2050.
The two provinces said the MOU will support collaboration and information sharing on key areas of nuclear power generation, including nuclear supply chains and workforce development, the security of fuel supply and the development and regulation of nuclear reactor technologies – including small modular reactors.
The provinces will also work to advance industrial decarbonisation and improve grid capabilities, a statement said.
