A key milestone has been achieved at Chalk River Laboratories, marking significant progress in ongoing decommissioning and waste management activities.
One of the site’s legacy waste areas includes three tanks containing highly acidic, radioactive liquid waste from fuel reprocessing activities in the 1950s. Work is underway to safely remove and treat this material for long-term disposal.
As part of this effort, a Hazard Reduction System has been installed, including the recent placement of the Process Intermodal, a custom-engineered unit that will support the safe treatment of this waste.
The unit weighs over 85,000 pounds and was installed using a 500-ton crane. The work required careful planning and coordination to ensure it was carried out safely and in line with regulatory requirements. With this step complete, the project will move into system integration, testing, and commissioning, followed by licensing and approvals before operations begin.
This milestone reflects steady progress toward reducing environmental risk while continuing to protect workers, the public, and the environment. ... See MoreSee Less

Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) contract operator, Nuclear Laboratory Partners of Canada (NLPC), is proud to have contributed $7,500 toward the restoration of Pembroke’s iconic Timber Raft mural.
A familiar landmark at the entrance to Waterfront Park on Lake Street, the mural has now been reinstalled following extensive repairs, ensuring that this important piece of local history can continue to be enjoyed by residents and visitors for years to come.
The restoration was made possible through a remarkable community effort. Thank you to the Pembroke Heritage Murals Committee for its ongoing dedication to preserving the region’s stories, art, and heritage.
We are committed to supporting initiatives that help build vibrant communities where we live and work, and we are honoured to play a role in preserving this unique piece of Pembroke’s heritage for future generations.

Starting the week of July 20, environmental crews will be working along the shoreline and in shallow areas of the Ottawa River adjacent to the former Electrical Yard Landfill at Chalk River Laboratories.
The work will focus on removing legacy debris from the shoreline and riverbed in preparation for a larger remediation project planned for spring 2027. Most debris will be removed by hand, while larger items may be recovered using heavy equipment operating from the existing shoreline trail.
Our team will safely manage recovered materials through approved waste management and disposal processes.
Environmental remediation activities such as this demonstrate our commitment to environmental stewardship and play an important role in reducing historical environmental impacts and protecting the surrounding ecosystem for the future. ... See MoreSee Less
