Canada’s Nuclear Renaissance, Continued
Canada unveiled its first-ever sectorwide Nuclear Energy Strategy, setting concrete build-out targets: up to 10 new domestic reactors by 2040, four new export markets by 2040, across a four-pillar plan covering domestic builds, exports, fuel/waste management, and fission/fusion innovation.
