Federico Puente Espel, VP of Strategy and Technology Integration at Prodigy Clean Energy, had the honor of presenting at the IAEA 22nd INPRO Dialogue Forum on Successful Development and Sustainable Deployment of SMRs, and showcased Prodigy’s approach for Transportable Nuclear Power Plants (TNPPs) that will enable sustainable deployment of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) in marine accessible regions where building an SMR using more traditional construction practices, even with modules, would be too challenging or expensive.

Prodigy markets its product as an alternative to diesel-fired power plants, which power nearly all Northern remote communities. Diesel is unpopular because of its high emissions and the considerable logistical challenges and costs associated with shipping it to far-flung places. Prodigy’s message dovetails with broader marketing efforts by the federal government and the nuclear industry to promote SMRs: The word “Indigenous” appeared in the government’s 80-page “SMR road map” more than 100 times, mostly in relation to how communities should be engaged with well in advance of specific project proposals. Yet tangible details on how nuclear technology might be deployed for the benefit of Indigenous peoples were almost entirely absent. With Prodigy’s Transportable Power Plant, a more coherent vision is beginning to emerge.

This first step in partnership with Des Nëdhé, an Indigenous Economic Development Corporation, underscores Prodigy’s commitment to Economic Reconciliation and a desire to find solutions to meet the North’s largest challenges. As an environmentally sustainable, reliable and cost-effective alternative to diesel, Prodigy microreactor TNPPs will unlock new possibilities for Northern communities and industry.

MONTREAL, CANADA – Today, in a major step toward Indigenous Economic Reconciliation, Prodigy Clean Energy and Des Nëdhé Group announce a Memorandum of Understanding to develop opportunities to power remote mines and communities in Canada utilizing Prodigy microreactor Transportable Nuclear Power Plants (TNPPs). Under the MOU, Prodigy and Des Nëdhé will explore potential TNPP projects, and engage with First Nations, Inuit, and Métis across Canada, identifying ways in which Indigenous Peoples could have ownership in TNPP new builds, and how an Indigenous workforce could take a leading role in TNPP commercialization and strategic infrastructure development.

TORONTO, CANADA – Earlier this month on March 6, 2024, at PDAC, Deloitte and the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency convened an international group of government and industry stakeholders to discuss The Role of Small Modular Reactors to Decarbonize the Mining Sector. This exclusive event featured talks from leaders in nuclear, mining, and strategic infrastructure financing. Discussions focused on the mining end-use opportunity for SMRs, suitability of different reactor concepts, and the financial and regulatory pathways to a first-of-a-kind project.

Toronto, Canada – Today, as we approach the close of PDAC, the world’s premier mineral exploration and mining convention, Kinectrics, a global provider of nuclear lifecycle services, and Prodigy, a Canadian developer of marine- and land- based Transportable Nuclear Power Plants (TNPPs), announce a partnership to accelerate commercialization of Prodigy TNPPs. These key enabling technologies will help to standardize nuclear deployment practices, bringing SMRs online faster and at a lower cost, including to power remote mines.

Westinghouse is Supporting the Next Cool Thing in Nuclear. Imagine a remote outpost in an arctic region, the Northern Lights fluttering in the distant night sky, and important work taking place in and around the facility. Currently, the most likely way this laboratory or industrial operation or military base can be powered and heated is through transported diesel fuel—both expensive and polluting, or a grid-based coal-fired plant if nearer a coastal region, also polluting. Westinghouse and Prodigy are designing a solution for the constant demands for electricity and heat in these types of harsh, remote climates: a Transportable Nuclear Power Plant (TNPP) featuring an eVinci™ microreactor from Westinghouse.

On November 14, 2023 in Vienna, Prodigy President and CEO Mathias Trojer presented to an audience of regulators, utilities, shipbuilders, SMR technology developers, governments, and other member state representatives, at the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA’s) first International Symposium on Floating Nuclear Power Plants (FNPPs). The event was eagerly anticipated by attendees who represented different elements of a rapidly growing global interest in the development and deployment of marine-based Small Modular Reactor (SMR) power plants. At the IAEA Symposium, presentations featured FNPP front-runners worldwide, and spoke to the benefits of these technologies to enhance the contribution of nuclear energy toward achieving global net zero targets.
