The good news continues in the international fight against climate change! And Canada is once again leading the way.
Yesterday, Canada announced that it would support Romanian energy security through $3 billion in available export funding to Nuclearelectrica S.A. (SNN), the national operator of the Cernavoda Nuclear Generating Station. The funding will help Romania phase out coal power, adding 1,400 megawatts of clean, non-emitting electricity production capacity to Romania’s grid, while supporting economic activity across Canada’s nuclear sector.
Canada has a strong history of nuclear cooperation with Romania dating back to the 1970s, and the European nation now plans to build two new Canada deuterium uranium (CANDU) nuclear reactors at Cernavoda. This is positive news for the Canadian nuclear supply chain, including CNL, which has stayed active through recent refurbishments, and stands ready to assist in the delivery and ongoing support of this exciting new project.
Pictured is our President and CEO, Joe McBrearty, with the Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, Canada’s Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, and Sebastian Burduja, Minister of Energy of Romania, at a reception to celebrate the announcement.

The latest issue of CNL's Kids CONTACT is now available online. This issue "digs" into CNL's work below the surface, touching on archeology, earthquakes, and underground research laboratories. And, some fascinating critters that live in the swamps and sediment.
You can read the issue online, and print copies will be arriving in mailboxes in Port Hope, Pinawa, Pontiac and Chalk River regions in a week or two.

Nothing more than propaganda aimed at our youth to pursue future nuclear acceptance. Leave our youth alone, let them grow into their own minds and thoughts. Teach them about past nuclear disasters.
A site-wide stay-in exercise will take place at CRL on Tuesday, September 26th.
Although Chalk River site sirens may be audible, no action is required on your part.
This exercise is part of our commitment to safety, and testing of our site emergency procedures is an important component of our operational practices.
