Washington has increasingly framed nuclear energy as a strategic economic sector, with industrial policy playing a growing role alongside commercial considerations. Recent agreements between the U.S. federal government and nuclear sector partners reflect this orientation, positioning reactor deployment as a vehicle for U.S. industrial renewal. The trajectory of existing U.S.\u2013Canada trade dynamics, such as tariffs on Canadian-manufactured components, alongside commercial negotiations, will determine the extent to which Canada is able to localize manufacturing and scale current exports to the U.S.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-rbc-section-block  pos-rel border-blue has-rbc-bright-blue-tint-4-background-color has-background\" style=\"border-radius:10px;overflow:hidden\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbc-section-inner-block  section-inner\" style=\"border-radius:0x\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-rbc-bright-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c33da51272c277332e9b732d6f61c9e9\" id=\"h-canada-a-civil-nuclear-power\">Canada: A Civil Nuclear Power<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-rbc-list is-style-black-disc\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>Eighty years ago, Canada became the second country, behind only the United States, to achieve sustained nuclear fission thanks to the work on the experimental Zero Energy Experimental Pile (ZEEP) reactor at the Chalk River Laboratories in Ontario.<sup><a href=\"#legal-34\" data-dig-id=\"LP-25688-196032e0\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-label=\"34\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">34<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>Canada\u2019s domestic, pressurized heavy water nuclear reactor technology, the Candu, supplies 15% of the country\u2019s electricity through 16 reactors in Ontario and one reactor in New Brunswick.<sup><a href=\"#legal-35\" data-dig-id=\"LP-25688-d9e2f61f\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-label=\"35\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">35<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>The Canadian nuclear sector employs roughly 89,000 people,<sup><a href=\"#legal-36\" data-dig-id=\"LP-25688-01670f77\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-label=\"36\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">36<\/a><\/sup> and is a major producer of medical isotopes, like Cobalt-60 for cancer treatment and medical sterilization, through its nuclear reactors.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>Canada leads in next-generation nuclear technologies, having developed the world\u2019s first SMR roadmap in 2018 and is building the G7\u2019s first SMR near Toronto, a project that will eventually supply 300MW of capacity, enough to power 300,000 homes with reliable, zero-emission power.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>Canada is advancing rapidly on its deep geological repository, a culmination of years of stakeholder engagement and Indigenous engagement, entering the impact assessment process, bringing the country closer to a single solution for the long-term responsible management of spent nuclear fuel.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-rbc-section-block  pos-rel\" style=\"border-radius:0px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbc-section-inner-block  section-inner\" style=\"border-radius:0x\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-rbc-bright-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a1f09eef27d8aa267300f950c5266b59\" id=\"h-the-path-forward\">The path forward<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As Canada expands its nuclear power industry, it needs to enhance and refine several areas across the supply chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-rbc-list is-style-blue-disc\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p><strong>Establish a comprehensive nuclear strategy. <\/strong>Centred on energy and economic security and a fleet-based approach for deployment, a pan-Canadian comprehensive strategy\u2014in coordination with Ontario and other provinces, industry and universities\u2014can improve certainty needed for supply chain investment, workforce development, inter-provincial cooperation, and international partnerships. It could integrate deployment targets, construction timelines for major projects, and technology pathway clarity with the goal of ensuring future energy and economic security.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p><strong>Develop a competitive nuclear export financing and diplomatic infrastructure. <\/strong>A dedicated nuclear export financing facility, supporting a multi-technology reactor portfolio including SMRs, could improve Canada\u2019s competitiveness as an exporter of nuclear reactors, components, and expertise. It could be paired with enhanced diplomatic infrastructure, with dedicated nuclear trade commissioners and the integration of civil nuclear cooperation into Canada&#8217;s foreign policy strategy.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p><strong>Build and maintain a nuclear-skilled workforce.<\/strong> Skills development planning, including expansion of apprenticeship programs, visa fast-tracks for nuclear specialists, university partnerships, and training facilities tied to deployment timelines could smooth the way for large-scale nuclear deployment.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p><strong>Close critical supply-chain gaps and support expansion. <\/strong>Canada&#8217;s nuclear supply chain will need to scale heavy water production and close gaps in calandria manufacturing and zirconium supply for fuel cladding, while supporting local suppliers to remain competitive against manufacturers in other civil nuclear jurisdictions like China. The nuclear supply chain can provide an avenue for manufacturers from other sectors (e.g., the automotive industry) to diversify into, but can benefit from targeted support for high-cost and time-intensive nuclear component manufacturing certifications from professional bodies such as the Canadian Standards Association and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p><strong>Protect uranium value chain and strengthen fuel security.<\/strong> Growing mining capacity, expanding conversion infrastructure to capture more value-added services along the nuclear fuel cycle, and assessing advanced fuel requirements and potential expansion of Canada\u2019s fuel capabilities into areas such as fuel fabrication for light water nuclear reactors and enrichment will prepare Canada and its allies for an energy secure future regardless of
