The story

In January 2021, the CNA and Foratom signed a memorandum of agreement to strengthen their cooperation. Most of Canada's exported uranium is shipped to European countries.

In 2022, the CNA has advocated for the inclusion of nuclear power in the Green Bond Framework, encouraged the Federal government to clarify the role of nuclear in meeting its net zero targets, and promoted the role of Small modular reactors in Canada's oil and gas industry.
