<It would be the first step in the development of Saskatchewan into the largest producer and exporter of electricity in Canada.>

It appears they want to locate the reactor in Sask. Perhaps the reason is to stimulate local industry, but also that is where the significant uranium deposits are, plus the water issue, as AB uses lots of water in the oil sands and that will increase. These issues would necessitate shipping electricity to AB.

In a reactor, as much as 330000 gallons of water flow through the reactor core
every minute to carry away the heat.
