Today, the premiers of Ontario, New Brunswick and Saskatchewan have announced a joint initiative to deploy what distills out of the Federal SMR roadmap, which is quite close to delivering its first test design with the first unit in the Environmental Assessment phase. While Ontario and New Brunswick had each previously announced investment intentions in these technologies, this agreement, to do this together is new.

They will be working on the research, development and building of small modular reactors as a way to help their individual provinces reduce carbon emissions and move away from non-renewable energy sources like coal.
Small modular reactors are easy to construct, are safer than large reactors and are regarded as cleaner energy than coal, the premiers say. They can be small enough to fit in a school gym.

Despite the claim that designs "aren't close", there's already one that's passed all three stages and just needs a valid EA to build.
