The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday edition that Ottawa has its eye on Poland as an emerging market for Canada's nuclear expertise, and Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson is in the country this week to urge it to adopt Canadian technology for its second nuclear power plant. The Globe's Emma Graney writes that Mr. Hodgson's stop in Warsaw is taking place at a time of heightened geopolitical instability and a renewed global focus on energy security, and as Canada seeks to diversify its international trade partnerships in the face of continuing U.S. hostility. Multiple Canadian nuclear companies are pitching for business in Poland, but Mr. Hodgson is largely there to advocate for Atkinsréalis's Candu Energy. Atkinsréalis is part of a four-company consortium that won a joint contract in 2024 to build two nuclear reactors in Romania -- the first new Candu reactors to be built in the world since 2007. The deal was sealed by $3-billion in Canadian export financing, which was provided by the federal government and administered by Export Development Canada (EDC). Mr. Hodgson said Polish officials visited the existing Candu nuclear plant in Romania a couple of weeks ago and were "very impressed with what they saw."
