Canada is developing a national nuclear power strategy that, according to Energy Minister Tim Hodgson, aims to expand domestic nuclear capacity by building up to 10 new reactors over the next 15 years. Hodgson releases the strategy as a move to strengthen Canada’s civilian nuclear sector and positions it as a “new civilian nuclear renaissance.” In addition to reactor construction, the plan seeks to grow exports of Candu technology to more countries, with the goal of increasing international sales. The strategy also includes targets to expand Canada’s uranium exports, which Hodgson said would be doubled. The announcements are presented as part of broader government efforts to secure future energy supply and support Canada’s role in the global nuclear industry. The sources report the key elements of the strategy as reactor expansion, export growth for Candu reactors, and a significant increase in uranium export volumes, as described by Hodgson when the strategy is unveiled.
