THE CASE FOR NUCLEAR IN SK . Let's make the case on a grid/power basis. Demand for electricity in Saskatchewan is fairly consistent. Daily avg demand is ~2,900 MW with SaskPower's minimum load (either 1 hour or 5 minutes, not sure) reported as 2,032 MW. #SkNuclear #skpoli

SaskToday: SaskPower's road to small modular nuclear power is a long one. "it would have a workforce of about 120 to 140 personnel, compared to one of the Estevan [coal] plants which has around 100 personnel on site". #SkNuclear.
