Abstract:
The nuclear sector in Canada is at an inflection point. What ten years ago was a sector in decline, is now thriving with potential to solve some of Canada and the world’s biggest challenges – climate change, energy needs and improve patient outcomes. Talk about winding down of nuclear power plants and medical isotope production has shifted toward major commitments to double large scale nuclear energy capacity, demonstration and deployment of small modular reactors, and a thriving and national distributed medical isotope ecosystem. This panel brings together representatives from across the nuclear science and technology ecosystem to answer key questions about how this sector is working to address social challenges and generate economic prosperity through innovation. The panelists will also explore policy topics to better position Canada for success in these areas.
