press release
Turner & Townsend has been appointed as prime vendor to support Capital Power and Ontario Power Generation (OPG) to chart the risk management systems, standards and best practices required to develop small modular reactor (SMR) generation facilities.
This work is part of initial information gathering to explore the feasibility of developing and deploying grid-scale SMRs in Alberta. In time, this would help to address the increasing local electricity demand.
Turner & Townsend’s energy and natural resources team in Canada will support Capital Power to identify federal requirements and industry best practices in areas including nuclear operations risk management and the systems and controls needed across all phases of potential SMR project development.
To deliver these services, Turner & Townsend will work alongside sub-contractor Nuclear Promise X (NPX), a nuclear innovation company dedicated to supporting the transformation of the nuclear energy sector.
“We look forward to supporting Capital Power in their effort to gather insights on how nuclear energy could be part of the solution for delivering reliable, safe and carbon-free energy in Alberta.
By leveraging the combined expertise of Turner & Townsend and Nuclear Promise X, we aim to deliver best-in-class Canadian and international nuclear expertise to significantly contribute to Capital Power’s carbon emission reduction goals in line with our commitment to build a green, inclusive and productive world.”
