Canada Boasts of SMR Advances

August 22, 2025--Written by Daniel Graeber for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Expecting its first small modular reactor (SMR) for nuclear energy by 2030, the Canadian government said it's at the forefront of the emerging technology.

SMRs are essentially small-scale, modular nuclear power facilities that could in theory see a strong rollout due to their versatility and smaller footprint. SMRs are increasingly seen as an important route to lower carbon emissions and long-term energy security, all with a significantly lower price point and faster rollout than traditional nuclear power plants.
