This funding will help Moltex develop a reactor that will produce emissions-free energy through a process that recycles existing used nuclear fuel to produce non-emitting energy. The government said the technology has the potential to reduce storage needs for existing used nuclear fuel and could lead the way in establishing a first-of-its-kind, world-class non-emitting-energy system for Canada and the world.
“Our government supports the use of this innovative technology to help deliver cleaner energy sources and build on Canada’s global leadership in small nuclear reactors,” said François-Philippe Champagne, minister of innovation, science and industry.
He said Canada must lay the foundation for a better-prepared, healthier and more prosperous country. “The investment announced today will play a critical role in fighting climate change and will boost Canada’s economic stabilisation after the [Covid-19] pandemic,” he said.
