Kinectrics has a growing portfolio of services supporting the development and deployment of new nuclear power plants in Canada and around the world. This includes Small Modular Reactors and Advanced Reactors of all technology types, as well as emerging nuclear technologies such as fusion facilities, nuclear fuel cycle facilities, and integrated modules to aid in the deployment of such technologies. Additionally, the market continues to grow for highly integrated clean energy technologies which use a nuclear reactor as a heat source such as high temperature hydrogen production cycles, process heating loads, desalination, synthetic fuels and materials production, district heating, etc.
A section under the Licensing & Advanced Reactor directorate has been established to lead this exciting area of growth for Kinectrics. This section is a hub for all SMR, Advanced Reactor, and New Build services within Kinectrics and works in a highly collaborative manner with all service lines of the company.
