SMR Forum

At @CERAWeek in Houston, it was a pleasure to briefly connect with @SecretaryWright , of U.S. @ENERGY , and H.E. @Eng_Malhammadi , Chairman of the @WorldNuclear and Managing Director and CEO of the @ENEC_UAE The growing prominence of nuclear energy is reinforcing the importance of international coordination on supply chains, deployment pathways, and long-term energy security. As momentum builds globally, collaboration across jurisdictions will be essential to scaling deployment and strengthening supply chains across the nuclear value chain, and Canada is well positioned to reinforce its position as a global leader in nuclear energy. @CanadianSMRs @SmrForum #CERAWeek #EnergySecurity #Geopolitics #NewNuclear #SMRs #NuclearEnergy #GlobalEnergy #CASMR #SMRForum

.@opg has submitted an application for a licence to operate 1 BWRX-300 reactor and an associated waste storage structure for the Darlington New Nuclear Project (DNNP). We will conduct a thorough review of the application. More about the DNNP: ow.ly/fzru50Yz9SZ

Canada’s nuclear story stood out at @CERAWeek in Houston. Canadian nuclear industry leaders highlighted Canada’s advantages across the nuclear value chain and how their companies are helping position the country as a global leader in new nuclear. As nuclear energy takes on greater prominence in the global energy conversation, Canada’s record is drawing increasing attention. With a strong track record in delivering complex refurbishment projects, the first SMR project in the G7 with plans for additional units, and a broader pipeline of new nuclear projects, including uranium development, Canada is demonstrating that execution is the foundation of long-term leadership in new nuclear. @opg @cameconews @atkinsrealis @NexGenEnergy_ #CERAWeek #NewNuclear #SMRs #NuclearEnergy #EnergySecurity #Canada #OPG #Cameco #AtkinsRealis #NexGen #CASMR #SMRForum

The digging is done. Now we build up. 🏗️ At Darlington, we've completed excavation across three shafts supporting our first SMR unit and shared services. Two will support the tunnel boring machine that will build the deep water intake for all four of our planned SMRs. The third will provide the foundation for the Western world's first grid-scale SMR. Milestone by milestone, we're building the new clean energy generation that will power our economy. Learn more: bit.ly/4lBKt7T

On the sidelines of PDAC 2026 and @CIBC Capital Markets Nuclear Summit, I had the pleasure of briefly connecting with Tim Gitzel, CEO of @cameconews , and with Grant Isaac, President and COO, at a significant moment for the company. Earlier this month, @cameconews entered into a long-term agreement to supply uranium ore concentrate (U3O8) to the Government of India’s Department of Atomic Energy for use in the country’s fleet of nuclear reactors. The agreement covers nearly 22 million pounds of uranium ore concentrate over a nine-year period, with an estimated total value of approximately $2.6 billion. This is a strategic development for Canada, reinforcing its role as a trusted supplier of uranium, while supporting India’s civil nuclear fuel needs as the country advances toward 100 GW of nuclear capacity by 2047. #PDAC2026 #Cameco #Uranium #Saskatchewan #EnergySecurity #NuclearFuel #NewNuclear #CriticalMinerals #India #CASMR #SMRForum #NuclearExportDiplomacy

The public survey on nuclear energy closes in one week. Have your say now: alberta.ca/alberta-nuclea…

Should Alberta add nuclear energy to our energy mix to meet future electricity demands? There's just 10 more days to complete the online survey and let us know what you think: alberta.ca/alberta-nuclea… #abpoli #ableg

How do we ensure Alberta has reliable, affordable power for generations? By exploring solutions now. ⚡️ It was fantastic to join @lraitt & @Sflecce last week at the CIBC Nuclear Summit to discuss nuclear energy's massive potential to power Alberta’s future and strengthen energy security across Canada.⚛️

Ontario’s nuclear advantage is the envy of the world. With Darlington Unit 4 back on the grid at full power, Ontario & @opg have completed the world’s largest nuclear refurbishment nearly five months ahead of schedule & $150M under budget. This marks the full completion of the Darlington refurbishment & stands as a true made-in-Canada success story, with over 90% of project spending staying in Canada, generating $90B in economic benefits & supporting more than 14,000 good-paying jobs.

On the sidelines of @the_PDAC 2026, it was a pleasure to briefly connect with The Hon. @susanholt Premier of @Gov_NB , on the day of her return from a successful mission to India. I used the opportunity to thank Premier Holt for the continued support that her government has provided to the @CanadianSMRs and the @SmrForum during PDAC 2026, where Deputy Premier Rene Legacy joined us as a keynote speaker at Powering the Future: SMRs, Critical Minerals & Energy Security. We also exchanged briefly on the upcoming inaugural edition of Pioneering New Nuclear in Atlantic Canada, which will take place in Saint John, New Brunswick, on June 2–3. #PDAC2026 #NewNuclear #EnergySecurity #CriticalMinerals #SMRs #AtlanticCanada #CASMR #SMRForum
