Canada Announces Plan for Up to Ten New Reactors Over Next Fifteen Years

Earlier this summer, Canada unveiled a strategy to add up to ten new nuclear power plants by 2041, aiming to bolster its clean-energy mix. The move mirrors similar large-scale nuclear projects being pursued in the United States, China, India and several European nations. Experts note that while the expansion could help meet climate goals, it also raises questions about cost, safety and long-term waste disposal. MIT nuclear scientist Jacopo Buongiorno discussed the drivers behind the global nuclear resurgence and the potential risks involved.
