SaskPower is studying a site on the Rafferty Reservoir near Estevan for up to two small modular reactors and investing $6.3 million over six years to establish four new nuclear research chairs at provincial post-secondary institutions. Additionally, SaskPower invested $4 million for the University of Regina's Small Modular Reactor Safety, Licensing and Testing Centre, while the province introduces the Energy Production 20 high school course and collaborates with institutions like the University of Saskatchewan and Saskatchewan Polytechnic.
