The Darlington small nuclear reactor project has a projected cost of more than $20 billion, making it one of the most expensive energy projects in Canadian history. Prior to being added to the Major Projects Office list the project was already approved and had received a $975-million low-interest loan from the Canada Infrastructure Bank, the single largest public subsidy for an SMR in Canada.
