Nuclear Developments Unpacked

Discussion centers on recent announcements in the nuclear sector, particularly the significance of GE Hitachi's agreement for a small modular reactor (SMR) in North America. While some view these developments as lacking substance, the potential hurdles posed by regulatory frameworks are highlighted, especially in Canada. The conversation also touches on the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's licensing of the first SMR, emphasizing the industry's ongoing challenges with regulations and the implications for future projects.
