Canada’s nuclear energy industry has a storied history. The industry’s prominent decades spanned the 1940s to the early 1990s and involved the domestic deployment and international export of its flagship technology i.e., the Canada Deuterium Uranium (CANDU) reactor. However, the last three decades have been sobering for the industry. No new CANDU plants have been built in Canada and China was the last country to procure a CANDU reactor in 1996.
