Grateful to the former employee, who worked at Douglas Point during the late 1960s(!), for sharing an image of these commemorative stamps from his collection. Issued in 1966, the Douglas Point Nuclear Generating Station stamp honours Canada's history of nuclear innovation. We love hearing from folks who worked at our legacy reactor sites, don't hesitate to reach out! ... See MoreSee Less

At the Canadian Nuclear Heritage Museum we have a few nuclear-themed postage stamps and covers, including the Douglas Point stamp shown here. A few years ago we tried to interest Canada Post in a 50th anniversary stamp for NPD, to no avail. However, in 2020 we created a Canada Post "vanity stamp" for the 75th anniversary of ZEEP. Contact us at [email protected] for a museum tour.
The Dounreay Fast Reactor sphere was featured on a UK stamp in 1964.
If you like this you may also like this. Not sure what year it was issued though.

All the pancakes, pet photos, payroll donations and raffle tickets paid off during this year's United Way campaign!
CNL employees teamed up with Nuclear Laboratory Partners of Canada (NLPC), CNL's parent company, to raise $160,000 this year! Thanks to a matching contribution from NLPC, the $80,000 donated by CNL employees was doubled in size, making this year’s annual campaign a resounding success, while delivering much-needed funds to improve the lives of those in need throughout CNL’s local communities.

Does this mean Petawawa residents have a lesser chance of getting spots? Thank you
Great idea CNL
It would be nice if dates were before or after Summermusic camp. I’d love to sign my kid while she still can and she’d love to go

We got a doggo!
A robot doggo. And we need your help naming it!
Meet CNL’s Education Outreach Program’s newest four‑legged teammate. This high‑tech pup had an impressive career helping keep CNL staff safe—being first in the door in confined spaces, detecting radiation, and supporting exploratory work during site decommissioning.
Now retired from field work, this special doggo has a new mission: bringing science to life. By demonstrating how coding and sensors work and showcasing real‑world applications of robotics, we are exploring big questions about engineering and the future of technology through our school program, with the help of our new friend.
Want to meet our newest science ambassador in person?
🐾 We’ll be live at the Renfrew County Regional Science and Technology Fair, taking place at Algonquin College Waterfront Campus, Pembroke on April 11, 2026!
Now for the fun part:
Drop your best, brightest (or most hilarious) name ideas for our robot dog in the comments. We just might choose your suggestion!
🔬 Science puns are highly encouraged. ... See MoreSee Less

Kids CONTACT is off to the printers, so keep an eye on your mailboxes. This time around we’re digging into the science of human health!
Give this issue a read and your kids can learn about the work CNL is doing to produce Actinium-225, an exciting (but very rare!) isotope that could serve as a new weapon in the fight against cancer! They can also read about our research to better protect astronauts, how nature can boost your mood, the many ways robots help protect our workforce, and the research we are doing to understand the health risks posed by forest fires. We even talk about shrew spit! As always, if you complete and submit any of our fun challenges, you could win a prize!
To get an early look at the issue, you can find it on our website. Check it out!
