SMR Funding Opportunity
by Juliette Mammei 14 Mar '23

14 Mar '23

Dear all, This may be of interest to people. It's a funding opportunity for enabling SMRs, with up to https://natural-resources.canada.ca/our-natural-resources/energy-sources-di… The Enabling Small Modular Reactors Program (the "Program") seeks to support applicants in their efforts to: * address waste generated from SMRs * develop supply chains for SMR manufacturing and SMR fuel supply The Program aims to support the conditions and enabling frameworks necessary for SMRs to displace fossil fuels and contribute to climate change mitigation while enhancing gender-equality, diversity and inclusion in the nuclear sector. * Projects should exclude reactor research, development and demonstration, including commercial installation * Projects that result in broad benefits for Canada will have greater priority than those where the results have narrow impacts * Applicants are encouraged to seek input from end-users (e.g. Province/Territory and/or utility) to ensure the project contributes towards SMR deployment plans and objectives * Applicants will be asked to describe in their Project Application the participation, engagement, and/or leadership of women and other identity groups Up to $5M is available. Thanks, Juliette ------ Dr. Juliette Mammei Associate Professor Dep't of Physics and Astronomy University of Manitoba Winnipeg, MB R3T 2N2 Canada

Ce partenariat entre les deux organismes appuie l’un des objectifs du budget fédéral de 2022<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=00161fPZJOGXv9GbIg_kIM9Ha3V2CBJMTjxzKtcVpM0Iw0…>, à savoir positionner le Canada en tant que chef de file en matière d’énergie propre, ainsi que les objectifs du Plan d’action canadien des petits réacteurs modulaires<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=00161fPZJOGXv9GbIg_kIM9Ha3V2CBJMTjxzKtcVpM0Iw0…> publié en décembre 2020 par RNCan. Le financement appuiera les chercheuses et chercheurs universitaires dans leurs travaux et leurs efforts afin de gérer et de réduire les déchets générés par les PRM. Il soutiendra aussi le développement de chaines d’approvisionnement pour la fabrication de PRM et l’approvisionnement en combustible pour les PRM. Dans le cadre du partenariat, RNCan versera jusqu’à 100 000 $ par année pendant un maximum de quatre ans à des chercheuses et chercheurs universitaires admissibles. La contribution du CRSNG sera calculée selon la formule de partage des couts d’Alliance. Le partenariat<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=00161fPZJOGXv9GbIg_kIM9Ha3V2CBJMTjxzKtcVpM0Iw0…> vise à appuyer des activités qui permettront d’atteindre les objectifs suivants : • générer de nouvelles connaissances pour appuyer l’élaboration des politiques et la prise de décisions relatives aux PRM dans l’industrie nucléaire canadienne et concourir à l’atteinte des objectifs du Plan d’action canadien des petits réacteurs modulaires; • renforcer la capacité des universités canadiennes à faire de la recherche sur les PRM; • accroitre la formation et aider à préparer la prochaine génération de scientifiques, d’ingénieures et ingénieurs et de responsables des politiques dans le domaine du nucléaire. Dans un premier temps, les chercheuses et chercheurs universitaires doivent communiquer avec RNCan pour discuter de leur projet de recherche et obtenir l’autorisation de présenter une demande de subvention au CRSNG. Afin de solliciter l’appui de RNCan pour le projet, ils doivent demander un formulaire de déclaration d’intérêt par courriel à l’adresse smr-prm(a)nrcan-rncan.gc.ca<mailto:smr-prm@nrcan-rncan.gc.ca> et présenter ce formulaire dument rempli à RNCan au plus tard le 11 avril 2023 à 23 h 59. RNCan invitera un nombre limité de candidates et candidats à présenter une demande de subvention au CRSNG. Les décisions de financement seront prises suivant le processus d’évaluation des demandes de subvention Alliance du CRSNG<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=00161fPZJOGXv9GbIg_kIM9Ha3V2CBJMTjxzKtcVpM0Iw0…>. Les demandes doivent parvenir au CRSNG au plus tard le 1er aout 2023.
