Small modular reactors (SMRs) are an emerging technology that have a variety of potential applications in Canada. To understand how SMRs could contribute to Canada’s decarbonization, Pollution Probe commissioned Navius to model the potential roles and impacts of this technology. This study focuses on their use in industry as a greenhouse gas emissions reduction solution.
