Exciting!
CNL was pleased to play host to Dr. Chris Keefer, President of Canadians for Nuclear Energy. Full of questions, comments and conversation, Dr. Keefer spent a full day at Canada’s national nuclear laboratories, which provided us a chance to show off the many ways in which Chalk River, AECL and CNL lead in the Canadian nuclear space. He had a chance to visit or get briefings on:
- Canada’s first mass timber (sustainable, low carbon ) construction on a federal site;
- Canada’s first GLP-certified laboratory to offer pre-clinical radiopharmaceutical studies;
- Canada’s largest nuclear laboratory, the Advanced Nuclear Materials Research Centre (under construction), positioned to support the growing needs of the nuclear sector;
- Canada’s first SMR , the SLOWPOKE reactor, a Canadian (AECL) design, successfully built and operated across Canada and internationally;
- Canada’s most productive science facility, the NRU Reactor which made significant contributions across a wide array of industrial sectors; and
- Canada’s first nuclear waste disposal project to receive CNSC approval to construct, the NSDF.
It was great to host you Dr. Keefer, and we look forward to continuing the conversation on the important work CNL delivers to support Canada’s #nuclear ambitions. ... See MoreSee Less

The stage is set for one of our most important annual events! Each year, together with Organization of Canadian Nuclear Industries, we host an Industry Day drawing over 150 representatives from across Canada's nuclear supply chain to Chalk River Laboratories. These events provide a great chance to network with other vendors, a chance for the broader industry to learn about our plans and needs for the future, and a chance for our staff to provide their thoughts and feedback directly to the many vendors which support them.
We also save space for our local communities and local businesses, allowing them to connect with#nuclearclear supply chain, and learn more about potential opportunities. We are pleased to The stage is set nfMRC Pontiacntiac, the Pontiac Chamber of Commerce, and a number of other local businesses and organizations joining us on Thursday. ... See MoreSee Less
