Europe’s desire to disentangle from Russia presents Canada the opportunity to use its nuclear expertise to contribute to energy security
Romania hosts the two-day Three Seas Initiative Summit and Business Forum, bringing together high-ranking officials from 12 EU member states between the Baltic , Black and Adriatic seas.George Christidis is the interim chief executive of the Canadian Nuclear Association. Heather Exner-Pirot is the director of Energy , Natural Resources, and Environment at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute.
Canada should leverage its domestic momentum and participate fully in international energy and security initiatives that promote commercial opportunities. We need to sell our nuclear expertise overseas. One such opportunity is through the Three Seas Initiative. Canada’s nuclear industry is already a significant economic driver at home. Five years ago, a Canadian Nuclear Association survey found the industry directly employed 33,000 people, up from 30,000 in 2012. Updates to that survey indicate there has been about 10- to 15-per-cent growth in the past five years.
Work is also being advanced upstream and downstream of nuclear generation. Many are awaiting the licensing of NexGen Energy Ltd.’sworld-class Rook I uranium mine in northern Saskatchewan, alongside other advanced uranium projects in the region. And the site selection for the Nuclear Waste Management Organization’s deep geological repository, which will provide a final resting place for Canada’s used nuclear fuel, is expected by the end of the year.
