Canada’s Nuclear Supply Chain
Canada has a well-established nuclear supply chain with capabilities developed through decades of experience supporting CANDU technology and nuclear operations. It includes manufacturers, engineering and construction firms, technology providers, skilled trades, professional services and specialized equipment suppliers.
These companies help maintain Canada’s existing nuclear fleet while contributing to refurbishments, new nuclear projects, small modular reactors, medical isotope production and decommissioning. Their experience also allows Canadian suppliers to support nuclear projects and customers in international markets.
Jobs & Economy
The nuclear supply chain supports highly skilled employment in engineering, manufacturing, construction, skilled trades, technology and professional services. These jobs are found in communities throughout Canada and provide long-term career opportunities for workers with a wide range of experience and education.
Investment in nuclear projects also creates opportunities for Canadian businesses, supports regional economic development and strengthens domestic manufacturing capabilities. By building and maintaining a strong Canadian supply chain, more project spending, skilled employment and economic value can remain within Canada.
