Ontario has awarded contracts worth nearly $66 million to two Eastern Ontario companies for the Darlington New Nuclear Project, site of the G7’s first small modular reactor. Gillam Construction Group of Carp will receive nearly $35 million to build the project’s Administration Building, while Mansteel Rebar of Pembroke will receive $31 million for reinforcing steel in five core buildings.
Energy and Mines Minister Stephen Lecce said the work will create more than 18,000 jobs and secure a nuclear supply chain that builds reactor components at home. Once complete, four small modular reactors at Darlington will deliver 1,200 megawatts, enough clean electricity to power more than one million homes.
