Science and Research committee  Global First Power is an owner-operator. We're not a technology company per se. Our focus is on getting this next evolution in the fuel right and on getting that done correctly. After that, we can look at expanding to different forms of fuel or different forms of generating power

Science and Research committee  Madam Chair, thank you to the member for that question. For Global First Power, our real differentiator is the fuel. A lot of our safety story is around the FCM fuel, for which we are building a manufacturing facility at Chalk River. The research really is around proving that th

Science and Research committee  The Chalk River facility that we're creating will be the commercial demonstration of our micro modular reactor. As we do our community engagement, it's definitely our intent to work with the local communities and find ways to engage them in the work that we do. I agree that ther

Science and Research committee  Global First Power is an owner and operator. We would look to the local communities to help staff our facilities in their communities. That is correct.

Science and Research committee  At this point, there are a couple of things that I'll speak to. First of all, when you look at the breadth of new projects that are coming to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission for approval, there were some concerns in industry about whether CNSC would have the capacity to h

Science and Research committee  When we look at the reason for this renewal in the SMR and the nuclear industry, it's really around climate change. You look at all the different aspects that are required to go after climate change, and all these different supply sources are required to meet the updated demands

Science and Research committee  That's how I see it. Global First Power is an off-grid market, so it's a little different for us. We're not connecting into the larger grids. We're working in remote communities that aren't connected to the grids.

Science and Research committee  As I mentioned in my opening remarks, engagement with the communities that we operate in is extremely important to Global First Power. We have spent extensive time in the community listening. We understand that building a plant in these communities is not a right of ours; it's a

Science and Research committee  Yes, that's correct. We're a micro modular reactor.

Science and Research committee  With Global First Power being a generation IV reactor, we do have innovations we're working on. Fuel is one of our major ones. As part of our project, we're building a fuel manufacturing facility at the Chalk River laboratories, managed by the Canadian Nuclear Laboratories. I thi

Science and Research committee  Good evening, members of the Standing Committee on Science and Research. My name is Jos Diening, and I am the managing director of Global First Power. Before I begin, I'd like to acknowledge that the project I will be discussing tonight is located in the unceded territory of th
