DESCRIPTION:Ontario Power Generation’s Darlington New Nuclear Project (DN
 NP) is at the forefront of deploying Small Modular Reactor (SMR) technolog
 y in Canada\, anchored by the GE Vernova Hitachi BWRX-300. As North Americ
 a’s first commercial\, grid-scale SMR\, DNNP plans up to four units tota
 ling 1\,200 MW. The project introduces advanced safety features\, includin
 g natural circulation cooling\, integral isolation valves\, and passive he
 at removal\, while supporting thousands of jobs and boosting Ontario’s e
 conomy. A collaboration between OPG\, GE Vernova Hitachi\, AtkinsRéalis\,
  and Aecon-Kiewit\, DNNP strengthens Ontario’s clean energy leadership a
 nd sets a model for SMR deployment globally. With construction underway\, 
 DNNP will help meet rising electricity demand\, advance electrification\, 
 and deliver reliable\, carbon-free power\, showcasing nuclear innovation
 ’s vital role in climate action and economic growth.\n\nSpeaker: Michael
