Nuclear power is on a worldwide revival, as the energy sector is faced with the rising costs of fossil fuels and the threat of emissions regulations. In Canada, there is increased demand for utilities to provide clean energy as well as meet the growing demands of oil and gas development.
While there are significant business opportunities, there are major challenges to overcome. Daunting costs, a lengthy approvals process, the issue of nuclear waste disposal, and negative public perception are just some of these hurdles.
