Poland and Canada have signed a memorandum of cooperation that includes the sharing of information by regulators on small modular nuclear plants, which are being geared up for deployment in both countries.

The MoC was signed between Poland’s Państwowa Agencja Atomistyki (PAA) and the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC). CNSC said a signing ceremony held at the International Atomic Energy Agency’s International Conference on Effective Nuclear and Radiation Regulatory Systems Conference in Abu Dhabi.

The agreement commits PAA and CNSC to share knowledge on best practices, technical reviews and other topics of mutual interest, such as SMRs and the international harmonisation of nuclear regulations.
