2026年4月29日，加拿大宣布了一項大膽的計畫，旨在成為全球核能超級大國。
On April 29, 2026, Canada announced a bold plan to become a global nuclear energy superpower.
能源部長蒂姆·霍奇森揭露了一項新的「國家核能戰略」，該戰略將於今年稍晚正式發布。
Minister of Energy Tim Hodgson revealed a new National Nuclear Energy Strategy, which will be officially released later this year.
政府目標將加拿大定位為核工業的最前線，利用其作為鈾主要生產國的地位及其現有的核能專業知識。
The government aims to position Canada at the forefront of the nuclear industry, capitalizing on its status as a major uranium producer and its existing nuclear expertise.
新戰略聚焦於四個關鍵領域：建設新的核能項目、出口加拿大技術、擴大燃料生產，以及促進核分裂與核融合的創新。
The new strategy focuses on four key areas: building new nuclear projects, exporting Canadian technology, expanding fuel production, and fostering innovation in fission and fusion.
為了支持這些目標，政府宣布了巨額資金挹注。
To support these goals, the government has announced significant funding.
這包括4000萬美元用於微型反應爐可行性研究，以為偏遠地區供電；並在未來十年內投資22億美元，用於將歷史悠久的查克河實驗室現代化。
This includes $40 million for microreactor feasibility studies to power remote regions and a massive $2.2 billion investment to modernize the historic Chalk River Laboratories over the next decade.
目前，核能提供了加拿大13%的電力，每年為經濟貢獻220億美元。
Currently, nuclear energy provides 13% of Canada's electricity, contributing $22 billion to the economy annually.
透過採納這項戰略，加拿大打算確保其能源主權，並在全球快速成長的核能市場中搶佔更大份額，預計該市場到2030年每年將擴張2000億美元。
By embracing this strategy, Canada intends to secure its energy sovereignty and capture a larger share of the rapidly growing global nuclear market, which is expected to expand by $200 billion annually by 2030.
這項倡議代表了朝向更永續且安全的能源未來所進行的合作努力。
This initiative represents a collaborative effort toward a more sustainable and secure energy future.
