First Nations in N.B. look to nuclear as Belledune coal-burning plant faces federal deadline

The Belle Dune generating station in New Brunswick must phase out coal within four years. To replace this polluting plant, local Mi'kmaq bands are backing a proposal by Prodigy Clean Energy to implement Small Modular Reactors (SMRs). This transition aims to provide sustainable power, create jobs, and generate revenue for community infrastructure and health.
