About CETRI, University of Regina
Nuclear Energy
With $1.1M in funding from the Sylvia Fedoruk Centre for Nuclear Innovation (Fedoruk Centre), an academic team led by Dr. Esam Hussein, Dean of Engineering and Applied Science at the U of R is investigating possible sites for reactor development. Also funded by the Fedoruk Centre, Dr. Margot Hurlbert is conducting deliberative engagement research with citizens across Saskatchewan. This research is focused on exploring a sustainable zero carbon energy future and developing pathways to attain it.
The U of R will develop infrastructure to explore the safe use of nuclear energy and advance the development of small modular reactor (SMR) technologies. It will build on its experience in building test loops to assess design improvements and new components, as well as in industrial conditions.
Since CETH brings expertise in a variety of energy approaches, it can examine the integration of SMRs, or microreactors, with other energy approaches. For example, by retrofitting existing infrastructure to repower coal-burning power plants, or by examining how enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and CCUS can benefit from thermal energy produced by SMRs.
The U of R also intends to increase capacity through new research chairs focused on developing and using a test loop — a system in which simulated fuel enables investigators to examine the behaviour of SMRs under challenging conditions, thereby demonstrating their safety and capability. This research will have a material impact on building the knowledge necessary for the licensing and evolution of safe, effective SMRs.
