Our Mission

Expanding nuclear power is a sensitive subject here in Canada, and it evokes great passion from its detractors. Our mission is to present the option to the public as we see it in order to increase awareness and understanding. We believe that public support should lead the way to development on a timely basis, and the time to get started is now. The public has demonstrated its growing concern for our environment, yet government and industry are conspicuously short on solutions that address the scale of the demand.

Canada leads the group of nations who have benefitted from their civilian nuclear power programs. Canada is a world leader in the design and construction of nuclear power complexes through the 55-year old Crown Corporation Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. (AECL). The CANDU Reactor is Canada’s greatest engineering achievements of all time. Canada leads the world in experience with nuclear power, with a half-century of safe operation and billions of megawatt hours produced. The AECL is the world leader in nuclear waste management and disposal. Canada is the world’s largest uranium exporter. Almost 6% of the energy produced in the entire world is generated with uranium from Saskatchewan.

Alberta now supplies 1% of the world’s oil supply with synthetic crude production of 1 million barrels per day. Oil production from the Athabasca oilsands will triple over the next decade, with US$100 billion invested in production projects. Oilsands exploitation requires massive process energy, presently produced with hydrocarbon fuel, predominately natural gas. Producing synthetic crude for export from oilsands sources produces 1/3 of all the carbon dioxide in Canada, and consumes gas supplies at an ever-increasing rate. There is the potential to utilize nuclear power to replace natural gas in process, and it would be cost effective.

Saskatchewan now supplies 33% of the world’s uranium. Though no new nuclear power plants have been built in decades, the complexes in eastern Canada continue generating billions in productivity. Ontario alone has a 13.5 gigawatt nuclear power capacity fueled by Saskatchewan uranium. Saskatchewan also has the perfect geology for the sale and permanent disposal of spent reactor fuel. Now is the time for Saskatchewan to embrace the development of nuclear power, not only as the obvious path to provincial prosperity, but also as the most environmentally responsible thing that can be done to address our future energy requirements.
