Nuclear in the Oil Sands

The use of nuclear energy in the oil sands will be considered as an option to offset rising natural gas prices and rapidly growing CO2 emissions.  The monetization of these benefits may represent a substantial incentive to commercial application of nuclear technology.  The application of nuclear technology to offset natural gas use and CO2 emissions from oil sands production and bitumen upgrading operations could produce significant public economic and environmental benefits.
