Overview of Nuclear for BC

At Nuclear for BC, we are committed to proactive engagement, education, and collaboration in advocating for civil nuclear technology as a pivotal component of British Columbia's transition to a cleaner and more prosperous future.

We firmly believe that nuclear energy is essential for the province’s clean energy goals by lowering greenhouse gas emissions while fostering economic growth and enhancing energy security in our province.
