Chapter 1: The State of Nuclear in Canada with John Gorman
In Chapter One, we look at the overall state of nuclear within Canada. Our nation has always been a leader within the industry, and continues to lead the way into the future. We discuss how nuclear is delivering much needed consistent, cleaner, and affordable energy. We also look to new technologies that will allow nuclear to serve communities across the country, making clean, affordable, and consistent energy available to even the most remote communities.
I am joined by John Gorman, President and CEO of the Canadian Nuclear Association. With a extensive background in the energy sector, and served as Canada's Designate to the International Energy Agency's Executive Committee (PVPS) and was a Founder of the Canadian Council on Renewable Electricity (CanCORE). He’s using this experience to secure a leading role for nuclear energy at the heart of Canada’s energy transition. John has been recognized as one of Canada’s CLEAN50 and was awarded the designation of Climate Project Ambassador by Nobel Laureate Al Gore in 2008.
The Canadian Nuclear Association (CNA) has been the national voice of the Canadian nuclear industry since 1960. Working with our members and all communities of interest, the CNA promotes the industry nationally and internationally, works with governments on policies affecting the sector and endeavours to increase awareness and understanding of the value nuclear technology brings to the environment, economy and daily lives of Canadians.
