Your Questions Answered: Let’s Talk Nuclear

August 6, 2026

When it comes to nuclear energy, questions are an important part of the conversation.

As planning for the Peace River Nuclear Power Project continues, Energy Alberta is committed to providing clear, transparent information about the Project and the role nuclear energy could play in Alberta's future.

At the recent Canadian Nuclear Society conference, Mike Law, Head of Power System Integration at Energy Alberta, joined industry leaders to discuss some of the biggest questions facing Canada's nuclear sector - from why Alberta is exploring nuclear energy to what it will take to grow the industry and strengthen Canada's clean energy future.

What Does Success Look Like for Canada's Nuclear Industry by 2035?

What will it take for Canada to become a global leader in nuclear energy over the next decade?

Mike shares his perspective on what success looks like by 2035, including the importance of delivering the next generation of nuclear projects, developing a skilled workforce and strengthening Canada's position as a leader in clean, reliable energy.

Why Build Nuclear Power in Alberta?

Alberta's electricity needs are growing, and so is the conversation around nuclear energy.

In this video, Mike explains why the increasing need for reliable, clean electricity, a more diverse Western Canadian energy supply and stronger energy security are driving interest in nuclear power. He also discusses how the Peace River Nuclear Power Project could help support Alberta's growing economy while strengthening the Western Canada’s electricity system for decades to come.

What Will It Take to Expand Canada's Nuclear Industry?

Building Canada's nuclear future is about more than constructing reactors.

It's about developing skilled workers, strengthening Canadian supply chains and creating the conditions for long-term success.

Mike shares his perspective on what it will take for Canada to grow its nuclear industry and meet our future clean energy needs.

Continuing the Conversation

As Alberta looks to meet growing electricity needs and Canada works to strengthen its clean energy future, thoughtful conversations about nuclear energy have never been more important.

These four videos offer a snapshot of the discussions taking place across the industry and highlight how the Peace River Nuclear Power Project could contribute to a reliable electricity system, long-term economic growth and a stronger Canadian nuclear sector.
