Abstract
Ecosystems will evolve around a multi-purpose Small Modular Fast Neutron Reactor and create an innovation-driven economy to become a local, national and international solution for reducing carbon-emissions and supplying high volume and high assay medical isotopes for many decades. This presentation includes a retrospective of the Canadian landscape, the path this decade of the currently developing landscape and what is on the horizon with Multi-purpose Small Modular Fast Neutron Reactors with the example of developing a Regional Isotope Ecosystem around the ARC-100 Sodium Fast Reactor deployment at the Point Lepreau Nuclear Generating site in New Brunswick.
