On October 6, BWX Technologies Inc. rose 5.43% in regular trading, trading at $142.52/share, with Turnover of $22.2081 million. The move comes as the company announced that Prodigy Clean Energy, Pabineau First Nation and Eel River Bar First Nation selected its BANR microreactor technology for a proposed transportable nuclear power plant planned for Belledune in New Brunswick, Canada.
The Indigenous-led project is expected to use two BANR units and generate up to 50 megawatts of electricity, with operations targeted for the early 2030s. The two reactors and related systems are expected to be principally fabricated at BWXT facilities in Ontario. The selection adds to recent positive developments, including a licensing agreement in June granting Applied Atomics exclusive rights to deploy BWXT's mPower small modular reactor technology for commercial land-based nuclear projects in the US and Canada.
