Survey of the market for small modular reactors
FY 2024-25 · 2025-02-21
Summary
This project aims to survey the energy policy, regulatory and commercial environment for small modular reactors (SMR) in selected Indo-Pacific countries. It does this through collaboration between Royal Roads University and Kyoto University. This research study involves collecting both quantitative and qualitative data from primary and secondary sources. It takes a transdisciplinary approach, involving the knowledge fields of nuclear science, international economics, international trade and investment and climate policy. It aims to use primary sources such as in-person interviews with government, industry officials, and non-governmental organizations in each target country. The project also seeks to draw upon secondary sources including academic research literature, information from government agencies, country databases and national statistics, and other public and private data sources. The project aims to produce a final research report and a presentation of the findings for Canadian stakeholders.

Description (French)
Ce projet vise à examiner les politiques énergétiques, les cadres réglementaires et l’environnement commercial liés aux petits réacteurs modulaires (PRM) dans certains pays de la région indo-pacifique. Il est mené en collaboration entre la Royal Roads University et l’Université de Kyoto. Cette étude de recherche implique la collecte de données quantitatives et qualitatives provenant de sources primaires et secondaires. Elle adopte une approche transdisciplinaire, mobilisant les domaines de la science nucléaire, de l’économie internationale, du commerce et de l’investissement internationaux, ainsi que des politiques climatiques. Elle prévoit l’utilisation de sources primaires telles que des entretiens en personne avec des représentants gouvernementaux, des responsables industriels et des organisations non gouvernementales dans chaque pays ciblé. Le projet s’appuie également sur des sources secondaires, notamment la littérature académique, les informations provenant d’agences gouvernementales, les bases de don
Expected Results
