Peace River Nuclear Project
"Energy Alberta is proposing the construction of two twin CANDU MONARK nuclear reactors, located approximately 30 kilometres north of the Town of Peace River, Alberta. As proposed, the Peace River Nuclear Power Project would cover 1,424 hectares in area and operate for approximately 70 years."
From the Impact Assessment Agency:
Energy Alberta is a private corporation. Energy Alberta's initial project description (dated April 11, 2025) is available on the Impact Assessment Agency website.
Environment North is opposed to new nuclear projects primarily because new nuclear:
- cannot address the climate emergency and help to bring down emission over the next couple of decades,
- diverts investment away from renewables and effeciency and
- creates highly radioactive nuclear waste which must be isolated from the environment for at least 100,000 years.
