International SMR and Advanced Reactor Summit 2018
A two-day international conference focused on small modular reactors and advanced reactor technologies, featuring an International Vendor Roundtable and dedicated Canada SMR Track. CNL is partnering to continue discussions from their RFEOI initiative.
The International SMR and Advanced Reactor Summit 2018 represents a pivotal gathering for the global nuclear industry, bringing together technology developers, regulators, utilities, and policy makers to advance the commercialization of next-generation nuclear technologies. CNL's partnership in this event demonstrates Canada's commitment to leading the international SMR development effort, building directly on the momentum and insights generated through their successful RFEOI process. The dedicated Canada SMR Track will showcase the country's unique advantages as a testing and deployment destination, including mature regulatory frameworks, experienced nuclear workforce, and strategic government support. The International Vendor Roundtable component provides a critical platform for technology developers to engage with potential partners, investors, and end users, facilitating the commercial relationships necessary for successful SMR deployment. Given the diversity of SMR technologies and applications identified through CNL's RFEOI process, this summit offers an ideal forum to explore integration opportunities, supply chain development, and market strategies. The event timing aligns with the critical phase of SMR development where prototype testing and demonstration projects are moving from concept to reality, making it essential for stakeholders seeking to understand and participate in this rapidly evolving sector.
