Engagement and consultation with Indigenous rights holders, public communities, customers, and other stakeholders is a critical part of the planning phase.
In 2021, we held several information and engagement sessions. Summaries of what we heard, including answers to the questions asked can be viewed below:

Your Top Questions
We've highlighted some of the most common questions we're asked when it comes to nuclear power from Small Modular Reactors (SMRs):
How do Small Modular Reactors work?
Good question! Check out the video below to see how it all works.
How much will it cost?
Cost means a lot to you. That’s why evaluating cost and risks is an important part of developing nuclear in the province. The project must be competitively priced against other reliable, non-emitting power options available in the 2030s to proceed. Small modular reactors have strong potential to be a competitive option.
What's the plan for managing waste?
We’ll follow all regulations from the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission. For more information on what that means, visit our managing waste page.
What about Indigenous participation?
We’re committed to ongoing, meaningful engagement with First Nations and Métis citizens of Saskatchewan. We’ve heard about the importance to protect mother earth as we build the future power system. We’ve also heard that Indigenous participation as equity partners in the project, workforce training, and supply chain opportunities is key.
How much consideration are you giving to renewables?
Reliable power from nuclear means that we can do so much more with renewables. To get to net zero, we’re considering all supply options. Curious about what options exist? Check out the Understanding our Future Supply Mix video.
Will the facilities be built and operated by Saskatchewan people?
We understand there is a significant opportunity to develop a skilled nuclear workforce in Saskatchewan. That’s why we’re working on a plan for workforce training to support the construction and operation of future facilities.
