Opinion | BY M. V. RAMANA | March 10, 2021
Natural Resources Minister Seamus O’Regan, pictured in February 2020, introduced Canada’s action plan for small modular nuclear reactors at the end of last year. However, unfavourable economics has driven nuclear power’s declining share in global electricity generation, from 17.5 per cent in 1996 to around 10 per cent in 2019, writes M. V. Ramana.
