Prodigy Clean Energy has partnered with Lloyd’s Register to develop lifecycle requirements for Transportable Nuclear Power Plants (TNPPs) — a major step toward the deployment of floating and transportable microreactors in Canada within the next 5–7 years.
Backed by a CAD 2.75M grant from Natural Resources Canada’s Enabling SMRs programme, the project aims to model the full lifecycle: marine fabrication, transport, deployment, and centralized decommissioning of TNPPs.
Unlike conventional barge-based systems, Prodigy’s designs are marine-fabricated, self-contained power stations, customisable from 1 to 1000 MWe. The company is working with Westinghouse to integrate the eVinci microreactor into a next-gen TNPP.
The goal? A scalable model that meets CNSC and IAEA safety and regulatory standards while enabling clean, secure, and decentralised energy in remote areas — including powering critical mineral clusters in Canada.
Lloyd’s Register sees this as a milestone in setting global standards for floating and transportable nuclear energy infrastructure — a crucial puzzle piece for the future of net-zero energy systems.
