This morning on CBC radio, Canadian Environmental Law Association counsel Kerrie Blaise explained why the federal government needs to designate the ARC-100 SMR (small modular nuclear reactor) for a federal impact assessment.
Kerrie explained that only the wide scope of a federal IA will give the public an opportunity to have many of their questions answered about this first-of-its-kind SMR, including the feasibility of the project as well as its potential environmental impact.
