Ontario Advancing World-Leading Small Modular Reactor

Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission approves construction license for Darlington New Nuclear Project

On April 4, Stephen Lecce, Ontario’s Minister of Energy and Mines, issued the following statement in response to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission’s decision to issue a power reactor construction licence for Unit One of the Darlington New Nuclear Project.

“This approval is a historic milestone for Ontario and Canada. The Darlington Small Modular Reactor (SMR) will be the first of its kind in the G7, helping to power our growing province with reliable, affordable, and emissions-free energy.

The Darlington New Nuclear Project could create up to 17,000 Canadian jobs during construction, contribute over $15 billion to Canada’s GDP, and drive $500 million annually into our supply chain because our government has insisted and successfully negotiated that local Ontario and Canadian businesses must be overwhelmingly used to build SMRs for the world.

Ontario is realizing its potential as a stable democratic energy superpower, and I look forward to sharing next steps for this exciting project in the coming weeks.”
