Education and training to support Canadian nuclear workforce development
Along with several other nations, Canada has committed to net-zero emissions by 2050. Part of this plan is tripling nuclear generating capacity. As of 2025, the country has four operating nuclear generating stations with a total of 17 reactors, 16 of which are in the province of Ontario. The Independent Electricity System Operator has recommended that an additional 17,800 MWe of nuclear power be added to Ontario’s grid.

This panel will focus on the current applications of risk-informed, performance-based approaches in nuclear safety and regulation. Discussions will address both existing light-water reactors and advanced reactor technologies, covering various stages of the nuclear power plant lifecycle, including design certification, construction permits, operating license amendments, and long-term asset management. Experts will share insights into contemporary risk-informed, performance-based methodologies, regulatory drivers, and practical implementation. Drawing from recent experiences in the United States and internationally, ranging from first-of-a-kind advanced reactor designs to life extension efforts for the existing light-water reactor fleet, panelists will highlight key lessons learned.
