Thank you, Mr. Rayner.
I would like to know what you think of the arguments in favour of small modular reactors, specifically the economic model. By simplifying their design and standardizing their components, they could be mass-produced. That would make it possible to achieve economies of scale.
Do you know how many small modular reactors it would take to achieve economies of scale and get a return on initial development costs? I know that several other countries, such as the United States and Russia, will want to develop this technology and sell it abroad. It’s going to be difficult for Canada, whose diplomatic strength might not be enough to win against highly competitive countries.
