Indiana state, Hoosier Energy, and AtkinsRéalis Group are evaluating a potential project to deploy up to 6 GW of Candu nuclear power capacity using advanced Canadian heavy water reactor technology. The project considers using retired power sites in a gas-to-nuclear transition model and involves regulatory licensing, financing, and community engagement.
