Alberta on board

Four provinces sign memorandum of understanding to look at small nuclear reactors

Apr 14, 2021 | 12:07 PM

Alberta is joining three other provinces to explore the feasibility of small modular nuclear reactors as a clean-energy option.

Premier Jason Kenney, along with the premiers of Ontario, Saskatchewan and New Brunswick, signed a memorandum of understanding today related to exploring small-scale nuclear technology.

The Alberta government said in August that it would enter into the agreement to help diversify its energy sector.

The four provinces oppose federally mandated carbon pricing.
