A nuclear energy company has applied to make the community of Pinawa, located about 110 km east of Winnipeg, a global hub in small modular reactors.
The reactors would be used to power off-grid communities and mining camps.
StarCore Nuclear submitted its application last month to build a 150-million-dollar site on the Atomic Energy Canada grounds
Such reactors are in operation in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, and China.
