EVP Canada Nuclear at SNC-Lavalin, President and CEO Candu Energy Inc - Nuclear will expedite achievement of climate action goals while improving our health!
@cadlam The MONARK does leverage the same core design as Darlington with 480 channels, but with enhancements; designed for more severe earthquakes and adapted to be supported by a concrete vault instead of a metal shield tank (among other things).
Today we launched #CanadiansforCANDU to promote the deployment of CANDU® nuclear technology at home and abroad.
Canada is a global clean energy champion and will play an important role to support global efforts to reach net-zero emissions. Read more: https://t.co/8VGG97IkiC
CANDU is the only reactor technology that provides Canada with energy security.
Canada has the industrial capacity to manufacture CANDU Reactor components and Canada mines uranium and manufactures CANDU fuel.
Canada does not have the ability to enrich fuel!
CANDU® reactors are the Canadian 🇨🇦 nuclear technology that helps to produce the #medicalisotopes used for #diagnostic imaging and #cancer treatments, securing our ability to save lives.
This essential technology produces more than 50% of the world's supply of cobalt-60.
A Canadian commitment to reliable CANDU® technology that is built and sourced locally so we can grow the clean energy needed for a brighter future, here and around the world.

Its a beautiful thing seeing maturity return to the nuclear discussion and the near unanimous positive media response to the Ontario government’s announcement of 6000MW of new ultra low emissions nuclear generation. https://t.co/bAGsSRhPYd
🧵 BIG NEWS & a fantastic week at the Ministry of Energy‼️
A lot of hard work finally getting out the door as Ontario rolls out it’s plan to powering Ontario’s growth. ⚡️🍃

I got real excited about the potential for new CANDU plants today after the Bruce Power announcement by Minister @ToddSmithPC to commence pre-project development work with the hopes to build up to 4800 MW of large nuclear.
3 convocations done and three to go….I’ve shaken a lot of hands the past day and a half loving making connections with the graduating class. A
great experience representing the DC Board @durhamcollege#DCGrad2023
@s_guilbeault Reliable? Seriously? Ontario will also spend more subsidizing GEA wind and solar than it did building its entire nuclear fleet, which has already generated 10x more electricity than all the GEA wind and solar will over their entire lives.
The Electricity Canada team (@bradbradley & @mbpowell) w/ Environment Minister @s_guilbeault, @FNPower's Guy Lonechild, @TransAlta's Kerry O'Reilly Wilks, & @opg's Gary Rose, chatting about how electricity powers #netzero & how we can work together to build tomorrow's grid #COP27
It was great meeting Minister @DavidPiccini with @opg's Gary Rose & @PDalzell3 at #COP27
As part of our conversation, we discussed the benefits of nuclear energy for Ontario and the role advanced nuclear and SMRs will play in the future.

BETTER THAN NEW!
That’s what the 3,512MW Darlington Nuclear Power Plant going to be after the ongoing refurbishments are done, according to Gary Rose of Ontario Power Generation @opg
This is a story about the power of project management.

What does refurbishing some of the existing reactors as planned mean for Canada's nuclear capacity as we push towards 2050? Prof. John Richards and @OPG’s Gary Rose offer their perspectives and insights: https://t.co/YHaDpd8k8G

Gary Rose from OPG: IESO assessment calls for a doubling of the electricity grid in Ontario.
Nuclear makes up 60% of Ontario's electricity, is affordable, and reliable.
Assessment calls for increasing existing 13 GW of capacity by 18 additional GW
