The company also raised its full-year 2026 Nuclear revenue outlook to approximately $2.7 billion, up from its earlier target of approximately $2.5 billion.Get the latest headlines, breaking news and columns.By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.A welcome email is on its way.

SPEA says the company’s continued growth reinforces the importance of renewing fair collective agreements that recognize the contribution of the employees responsible for delivering it.“Our members have helped deliver the growth behind these results and the increased expectations for the future,” said Chudak. “A fair collective agreement recognizes the value of the people whose expertise generates that growth. Investing in the employees who create it is essential to sustaining it.”SPEA says today’s results also arrive against the backdrop of the federal government’s nuclear strategy, announced in June, which sets a goal of building up to 10 new large-scale reactors and establishing at least four new international markets for Canadian reactor technology by 2040.“Canada developed CANDU technology, and Canadians have built one of the world’s most respected nuclear engineering workforces,” said Chudak. “As demand for our expertise grows around the world, the priority must be to keep these highly skilled jobs, this knowledge and these opportunities in Canada. That strengthens our economy, supports Canadian families and ensures the next generation of nuclear professionals can build their careers here.”About SPEA — Society of Professional Engineers and Associates (SPEA-Unifor Local 7474)SPEA represents the scientists, engineers, technologists, tradespeople, professional and administrative employees who work for Candu Energy Inc. and collectively represent the majority of Canada’s nuclear design expertise.
