The first five years of the deal could mean $250 million in business for the Canadian engineering giant, it announced. Venture-backed First American Nuclear is developing small modular reactors; AtkinsRéalis will provide much of the expertise surrounding the core technology, including procurement and construction of the plants surrounding the reactors.

Talking point: First American Nuclear began the review process with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission in April, so it has a long way to go before installing a reactor anywhere, but it’s working on a design that can generate 240 megawatts of electricity using spent fuel from larger nuclear plants. This deal is almost the mirror image of one that Canada’s Brookfield made last week with another grandly named American startup, The Nuclear Company, in which Brookfield-controlled Westinghouse provides the reactor technology and its partner does the rest.
