ARC Canada, President & CEO, Norman JD Sawyer, hosted the event and stated, “I am very pleased to hear that the government of New Brunswick supports our vision to bring our technology to market,” says the native New Brunswicker, “after our recent successful completion of phase 1 of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission’s (CNSC) Vendor Design Review (VDR), we are now moving into the next phase which includes expansion of our organization and future technology design progression. We are now working with the CNSC to plan the start of the next round of reviews.”

ARC Canada, with a vision of building a local, sustainable supply chain, has obtained private investment to develop its proven technology. To date, the company has procured three dollars of private investment for every dollar of the initial provincial government funding, highlighting the ongoing private interest in ARC Canada. “Supporting a proven technology, that is centered around economic growth through a sustainable New Brunswick based supply chain should be considered a significant opportunity for this province’s future.” Mr. Sawyer again stated, “But let me clear, our next phase does not require provincial funding, it is dependent on approval of the Federal Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF) like many other technology companies or industries in this Nation. With the solid groundwork that has been laid by ARC Canada, New Brunswick deserves an opportunity like any other province in Canada.”

With more than 37 years of combined nuclear power industry experience in Canada, Mr. Sawyer has been involved in both the operation of commercial nuclear power plants and in the regulation of the Canadian nuclear power industry. In addition to operational experience Mr. Sawyer worked for 10 years at the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, the regulatory body for the Canadian nuclear industry.
