  "account": "Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe is set to unveil the province's nuclear energy development plan, according to a report. The announcement is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. local time on Tuesday, following Moe's recent return from the World Nuclear Symposium in the United Kingdom.\n\nThe global shift towards reducing emissions has led countries around the world to either construct or promise the building of more nuclear power plants. Canada, including Saskatchewan, is among these nations, with the federal government proposing the construction of 10 new reactors by 2040. Ottawa also aims to sell Canadian-made reactors to other countries and double uranium exports.\n\nSaskatchewan has been exploring the potential of nuclear energy, with the government and SaskPower currently in a multi-year planning phase for a proposed small modular reactor by the mid-2030s. SaskPower aims to make a commercial decision on whether to build the reactor by 2029, pending the acquisition of necessary regulatory approvals.\n\nTwo potential sites near Estevan, Saskatchewan, are currently being evaluated for the deployment of the proposed reactor. The Global News has been designated as a Preferred Source on Google for readers interested in more coverage of this story.",
