Study highlights possible economic benefits of new nuclear

A Conference Board of Canada study that was released today states building Small Modular Reactors (SMR) in Ontario and Saskatchewan would create jobs, increase provincial revenues and help ensure the necessary supply of zero-emissions, non-intermittent and cost-competitive energy. A New Power: Economic Impacts of Small Modular Nuclear Reactors in Electricity Grids studied the impacts of deploying SMRs in Ontario and Saskatchewan from 2021 onwards.
