Canada-based based space and defence company Canadian Strategic Missions Corporation (CSMC) has unveiled three advanced nuclear reactor platforms designed to address energy challenges for some of the world’s most demanding environments

The private company, founded in 2020, said the launch of Polar-1, Jay-1, and Orcoa-1 establishes distinct development plans to use the reactors for applications ranging from remote communities and military operations to space infrastructure, research, testing and workforce development.

It said that together, the three platforms form an integrated Canadian technology portfolio focused on developing reliable, strategically deployable nuclear power for Arctic sovereignty, defence readiness, scientific research and lunar exploration.
