SE--Nuclear Energy: Opportunities and Issues

Increasing pressure to produce stable and reliable electricity, without GHG emissions has led to a serious attempt to transform Canada’s electrical grid. While no nuclear power plants have been built for quite a while in Canada, but now several provinces are looking to build nuclear reactors. For decades nuclear power has provided electricity for Canada without emitting CO2. Now with Canada having picked a site for the disposal of spent nuclear fuel and improved construction times with Small Modular Reactors, many provinces are looking seriously at building nuclear power plants.
