The following information bulletin is in accordance with Canadian Nuclear Laboratories’ (CNL) ongoing commitment to voluntary public disclosure of events related to the Chalk River Laboratories site.
Chalk River, ON – October 23, 2024 – At approximately 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, October 23, a break occurred in a service water line during preparations for maintenance activities. CNL’s Infrastructure team responded quickly, and the water line was closed off. As a result, a number of buildings on the Chalk River campus are without service water. Occupants of those buildings able to work remotely were encouraged to depart site. Temporary services are being provided to employees who need to continue working at the campus.
Efforts to repair the line are currently underway.
All facilities remain in a safe state, and there is no impact on the safety of people or the environment.
