The Globe and Mail reports in its Monday edition that the federal government wants to dramatically scale up the use of nuclear power and the export of Canadian-owned reactor technology through a new strategy that sets a goal of increasing by more than 50 per cent the number of large-scale reactors in Canada. The Globe's Marieke Walsh and Matthew McLearn write that in a policy document to be released by Energy Minister Tim Hodgson, the government positions nuclear power as a triple threat for Canada's economy, energy transition and sovereignty. The strategy prioritizes bolstering the domestic supply chain for the Candu reactor, the Canadian-made technology used to build and operate nuclear-generating stations in the country since the 1960s, and reinvigorating a sales and export strategy for the reactors that has been largely dormant for decades. The federal government retains ownership of Candu technology through Atomic Energy of Canada, the federal Crown corporation that developed it. The sole licensee is AtkinsRealis. Candu has competition from American reactor developer Westinghouse, which is co-owned by New York-headquartered Brookfield and Cameco, based in Saskatoon. Canada's last large reactor was completed in 1993.
