Ontario's government is advancing an ambitious nuclear strategy focusing on expanding nuclear power generation through refurbishment projects and developing new technologies like small modular reactors (SMRs) and transportable microreactors for remote communities. The province aims to become a major exporter of nuclear technology, supporting economic growth and decarbonisation efforts, with key projects underway such as Darlington's refurbishment and a pilot microreactor in New Brunswick.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Ontario’s push to export nuclear tech including microreactors opens fresh markets for power in remote areas, putting founders in nuclear supply chains up for new commercial opportunities. The refurbishment pipeline means a steady demand for parts and services, giving you solid sales prospects this decade.
