CNL has developed some of the world’s most advanced waste management technologies and practices. And now our talented engineers, researchers and operators are putting them to good use – tackling some of the world’s most challenging environmental problems.
Like in Port Hope, Ontario, where CNL has already removed and safely stored over one million tonnes of contaminated soils from around the community. Or the WR-1 reactor in Pinawa, Manitoba, where CNL is working to safely dispose of one of Canada’s oldest research reactors.
And, we’re revitalizing the celebrated Chalk River Laboratories site in the Ottawa Valley. With more than 110 buildings taken down, 250,000 kg of asbestos, 3,000,000 kg of low-level radioactive waste and 20,000,000 kg of decommissioning debris safely removed, CNL is cleaning up the past to make way for a bright future.
We’ve learnt a lot over the years and we’ve taken on the responsibility to make things right. These projects are difficult. They rely on information gained through decades of advanced science and technology. And they require an unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability.
Which is why our scientists and technicians take hundreds of thousands of samples in the field every year. So we can understand our local environment and the impact of our operations. These employees care deeply for the environment. They care about the health and well-being of Canadians.
And they care about the place we call home.
