Advanced SMR Supply Chain Readiness in Canada: Gap Analysis and Strategic Opportunities Webinar(April 9)
April 9 @ 10:30 am – 11:30 am ET
Canada stands at a pivotal moment in the deployment of advanced Small Modular Reactors (SMRs). A national supply-chain study led by the Organization of Canadian Nuclear Industries (OCNI) and supported by Natural Resources Canada’s Enabling SMR Program identifies a potential $15–20 billion domestic opportunity and thousands of high-skill jobs, but also a narrow 12–18-month window before global supplier capacity for key inputs such as fuels, graphite, heavy forgings, and specialized testing infrastructure is committed elsewhere.
Drawing on cross-vendor analysis of five leading advanced SMR designs, this webinar highlights recurring supply-chain bottlenecks including TRISO and molten-salt fuel capabilities, nuclear-grade graphite production, coolant-system test infrastructure, and qualification of Division-5 materials and manufacturing processes.
The session will explore how these gaps shape FOAK project risk, schedule, and Canadian industrial participation, and discuss emerging efforts to strengthen Canada’s SMR supply chain.
We hope you can join us for this informative session.
