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. The strategy stays technology-agnostic between CANDU, AP1000, and Gen IV designs, leans on existing financing tools rather than new funding (with a dedicated financing policy due next April), and frames nuclear as central to doubling Canada's grid capacity and capturing global export demand as countries move away from Russian supply chains.
