GFP is a joint partnership between Ontario Power Generation and Ultra Safe Nuclear Corporation (USNC), a designer and supplier of MMR technology based out of Seattle, Washington.
Together, they hope to build and operate a 15 MW thermal MMR at Chalk River as the first step towards commercializing USNC’s technology and bring clean, reliable energy to remote locations….
