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-distribution/nuclear-energy-uranium/enabling-small-modular-reactors-program/24959

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
