“Making the decision to join X-energy Canada came down to the need, the technology and the people,” said Ms. Sanderson. “SMRs will play a large part in helping Canada reach net-zero emissions by 2050. The Xe-100 reactor design best leverages the resources, supply chain and talent that exist and are in development in Canada. I’m looking forward to working with the team at X-energy and collaborating with members of our Canadian nuclear community to help meet our shared clean energy goals.”

Prior to joining X-energy Canada, Ms. Sanderson held several key positions throughout her career, most recently as Project Director and General Manager for the Bruce Major Component Replacement at SNC-Lavalin, where she oversaw all aspects of the dynamic portfolio. A talented leader with more than 15 years of nuclear engineering experience, she spent seven years on OPG’s Darlington Retube and Feeder Replacement Project, finishing her tenure as the Deputy Project Director for Subsequent Units, accountable for the engineering, procurement, quality and construction planning for Darlington Units 3, 1 and 4. Known for her strong leadership and interpersonal skills, Ms. Sanderson has forged positive relationships across the Canadian nuclear industry, including with suppliers, customers, utilities and the regulator.

Ms. Sanderson holds a Bachelor of Applied Science and Mechanical Engineering degree from the University of Waterloo and is a Professional Engineer with the Professional Engineers of Ontario.
