In 2001, ten countries, including Canada, initiated the Generation IV (GEN IV) International Forum to collaboratively develop the next generation of nuclear energy systems that will provide competitively-priced and reliable energy in a safe and sustainable way. The Canadian National Program on Generation IV Energy Technologies funds and coordinates the nuclear research within Canada that will fulfill Canada's obligations under GIF treaty. Specifically, this activity supports work towards the development of the super-critical water-cooled reactor (CANDU-SCWR) and projects related to hydrogen production and other co-generation applications of nuclear reactors.
