This sideline event, held during the PDAC Convention in Toronto, will explore how Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and nuclear fuel are poised to play a pivotal role in decarbonizing the mining sector. As global demand for clean energy rises, Canada’s mining companies are positioning the country to be a key player in the future of clean energy. With the growing recognition of nuclear energy's role, SMRs offer a reliable, low-carbon energy solution to power mining operations, providing both electricity and heat.
This discussion will delve into the potential of SMRs to drive sustainability in mining, reduce emissions, and support the transition to a green energy future. Experts will highlight the synergy between SMRs, nuclear fuel, and mining, and explore the opportunities for innovation and growth in this critical sector. The event will gather policy makers, regulators, government representatives, industry leaders, and Indigenous communities from Canada, alongside international partners.
