Seminar

In conjunction with the ever-popular annual PDAC Convention, please join us on March 4th for a morning seminar on the application of small modular reactors (SMRs) in the mining sector.

Over breakfast, you will hear an update on the Canadian government's SMR Roadmap which was released in the fall of 2018. You will also gain insight into the Canadian mining industry's perspective and hear from reactor developers about their views of the application of SMRs to mining operations.

We hope to see you at this informative discussion to kick off a successful week at PDAC 2019!
