Ontario Power Generation announces who will design new modular reactor - The Globe and Mail
OPG has selected GE Hitachi’s BWRX-300 reactor for their Darlington nuclear power plant

The announcement is a triumph for GE Hitachi and a setback for competitors. OPG is one of only a handful of utilities worldwide with firm plans to build an SMR and significant expertise operating nuclear plants.
Oakville, Ont.-based Terrestrial Energy and X-energy, a U.S.-based vendor, had previously been named as candidates. In an interview this summer, an executive for NuScale, another U.S.-based vendor with a relatively mature SMR design, said his company was also in the running and had “prioritized” the Canadian market.
Officials in Saskatchewan indicated they are considering building reactors of the same design selected by OPG, so this announcement could lead to further sales.
Selecting a foreign vendor marks a new chapter for Canada’s nuclear industry. The country’s four operating plants all feature CANDU, or Canada Deuterium Uranium, reactors, a homegrown design. For months, competing vendors have trumpeted partnerships with Canadian suppliers and the economic benefits they would bring; last month, Terrestrial urged Ontario to select its reactor “rather than a technology developed outside of Canada.”
加拿大核电“灵魂企业”：坎杜能，在中国的蠢蠢欲动
加拿大CANDU曾经出口中国，并准备跟中国合作出口其他国家，可能受地缘政治影响没有成功，现在自己也抛弃了，看来以后只有卖资源了。
难道不能学美国要求Made from Canada？
