Key extracted facts:
- Pabineau First Nation, Eel River Bar First Nation and Prodigy Clean Energy announced an Indigenous-led nuclear new-build proposal in Belledune, New Brunswick.
- The partners plan an up-to-50 MWe full-scale Prodigy Transportable Nuclear Power Plant within the traditional territory of Pabineau and Eel River Bar First Nations.
- Prodigy says the pilot project will be First Nations-owned and is meant to validate logistics and operational requirements for a TNPP fleet across Canada's North and export markets.
- Target: in-service operation by the early 2030s.
- Prodigy says New Brunswick signed a Letter of Intent to offtake generated electricity and notified Natural Resources Canada of support/intent to advance the project to the federal Major Projects Office.
- Prodigy says TNPPs can be factory-built, shipped and installed in about 18 months, but the release also states the team still must form the proponent organization, conduct site selection/characterisation, select a reactor technology ready by 2032, prepare a Licence to Prepare Site application and target a Final Investment Decision within 18 months.
- BWXT Canada and Kinectrics are named as strategic collaborators for licensing and supply-chain development.

Caution:
Company release language is proposal/future-tense. It does not establish CNSC licensing, final site approval, construction, selected reactor technology, financing, operating organization or delivered electricity.
