Long-term strategy calls for up to 10 new reactors in Canada
Canada has launched a Nuclear Energy Strategy, a long-term vision of its nuclear power potential that includes plans to deploy up to 10 new large-scale reactors in the country by 2040.
The June 22 announcement, along with ongoing projects at Darlington and Bruce Power, further confirm Canada's ambitions to expand its nuclear power presence not just domestically but also abroad. Four pillars stand at the heart of the country’s Nuclear Energy Strategy: new nuclear builds in Canada, maintaining its status as a top nuclear supplier and exporter, expanding uranium production, and continuing nuclear fission and fusion innovations.

Dr. Garrett earned his PhD in Nuclear Engineering at MIT in 1998, specializing in Probabilistic Risk Assessment, then went on to Rocketdyne in southern CA, where he worked as a System Engineer in various capacities on every large liquid rocket engine developed by the company in the last 20+ years (X-33, RS-68, RS-83, RS-84, J-2X, & RS-25). Now as a member of the Space Nuclear Propulsion team at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, his career has come full circle, helping to develop requirements for a nuclear thermal rocket intended to serve as prototype for a Mars transportation engine
