Fission Surface Power — Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) are a critical path for meeting clean energy demands on Earth as well as delivering sustainable power to habitats and industrial activities on the lunar surface. However, current efforts to develop novel SMRs are trailing far behind the requirements for both, to the detriment of our planet and scientific exploration. This is especially meaningful in Canada’s Arctic, where diesel generators are accelerating ice melt to disastrous and irreversible effects on the world’s climate. SMR requirements sit at the nexus of timing, technology gaps, and iconic Canadian strengths, and represent a generational opportunity for Canada to lead on the world stage. CSMC has reviewed Canada's rich heritage in nuclear reactors and has determined that by revitalizing a proven and iconic Canadian technology, Canada can propel itself to the forefront of delivering clean, reliable and safe nuclear power, both terrestrial and lunar fission power, years ahead of competing efforts.
