Canadian Market Opportunity

A recent CNL study found that the potential market for off-grid SMRs in Canada consists of over 600 power plants, with a total power demand of 35 GWe. Another important finding was that most of these power plants require an installed capacity of less than 5 MWe.

UK Innovation, Global Potential

INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY

  • Micro-modular nuclear reactor – local off-grid power and heat
  • Distinct from Small Modular Reactors – smaller size and different end user needs
  • Targeted at global markets – energy intensive industries and remote communities
  • Simple, low-risk design – proven technology and inherently safe design based on TRISO fuel
  • Competitive cost – cost of development and levelised cost of delivered energy
  • Real market demand – market pull in strategic markets
  • Builds on generic commitments BEIS is making – modular manufacture, materials-testing and

advanced manufacturing, thermal hydraulics, advanced fuels.

OPPORTUNITY

  • IP development, supply chain, advanced manufacturing and fuel supply - led by UK companies
  • High value export product for strategic global markets
  • International Collaboration – Nuclear and manufacturing technology, COP 21, Mission Innovation
