"SMR development is proceeding in Western countries with a lot of private investment, including small companies. The involvement of these new investors indicates a profound shift taking place from government-led and -funded nuclear R&D to that led by the private sector and people with strong entrepreneurial goals, often linked to a social purpose. That purpose is often deployment of affordable clean energy, without carbon dioxide emissions.

A June 2016 report for the Ontario Ministry of Energy focused on nine designs under 25 MWe for off-grid remote sites. "

Background

Several SMR vendors have recently established themselves in Canada and initiated dialogue

with the regulator, suppliers, utilities, governments and potential customers in regards to

potential SMR deployment at remote mines. The recent increase in vendor activities have

been noticed by Canadian stakeholders who are now observing the industry developments

closely.

These vendors can be generally grouped into two categories; vendors who are developing

utility-scale SMRs for main grid applications and vendors who are developing very small

SMRs, sometimes called micro-SMRs or vSMRs, for niche market applications such as

remote mines.

The former group includes companies with sizable corporate coffers and advanced R&D

programs, such as mPower, NuScale and Westinghouse"
