CNL has some exciting news to share today on International Day of Women and Girls in Science!
Our new Vice-President of Science and Technology, Dr. Monica Regalbuto, has been elected to the National Academy of Engineering (NAE), which is among the highest professional distinctions accorded to an engineer. Monica was honoured with Academy membership for her distinguished contributions to the engineering profession, the safe management and disposal of high-level nuclear wastes, and the development of advanced nuclear fuel cycles.
NAE members are among the world’s most accomplished engineers from business, academia, and government. Members are also elected by their peers – the ballot for the Class of 2026 was finalized in December, and the final vote took place in January. Monica will be formally inducted into the Class of 2026 during the NAE Annual Meeting in the fall.
Congratulations, Dr. Regalbuto! ... See MoreSee Less

Congratulations Monica! Well done!
Congratulations Monica!
Congratulations to you and may your knowledge and expertise bring a new lite on nuclear science!
Congratulations Monica!
What is her opinion on storing radioactive waste beside the Ottawa river, a source of drinking water for so many villages ?

We’re proud to spotlight the incredible work of Dr. Antonella Bertucci, Mission Lead for Biodosimetry and Medical Countermeasures at CNL.
From her early curiosity about human biology to her trailblazing career in radiation science, Dr. Bertucci is shaping Canada’s emergency preparedness planning.
Her team’s innovative work to transform complex biodosimetry techniques into fast, accurate tools could one day save lives in a national emergency. It’s science driven by passion, precision, and purpose — and a powerful reminder of how women in STEM continue to push boundaries and strengthen our future.

PROUD 😊👏
CNL’s decommissioning team has safely remediated the interior surfaces of two hot cells located in a building that will be demolished in the future. The Hot Cells were previously used for experiments and testing, enhancing industry safety with decades of important research with nuclear materials.
Our team first completed a series of extensive radiological surveys and intrusive characterization work to assess radiological contamination levels and depth profiling. Using concrete scabbling techniques, a crucial process in reducing the radiological footprint of the hot cells, staff safely removed potentially contaminated surface layers.
Then, workers dismantled the stainless-steel door liners and floor liner and installed a protective covering on the remediated surfaces to ensure conditions remain stable until the final demolition of the building. The team’s careful planning led to a smooth remediation project supporting our overall site revitalization at Chalk River Laboratories. ... See MoreSee Less

How deep into the ground will the long-term storage be at ? Hopefully a safe distance below the Ottawa river ( Canadian residents drinking supply )
We're proud to be pushing science and technology forward in the name of cancer research.
Every day, our scientists, engineers, and collaborators work together to develop innovative tools and technologies that help doctors detect cancer earlier, deliver treatments with greater precision, and deepen our understanding of the diseases that affect so many Canadians. From advancing medical isotopes and radiopharmaceuticals to pioneering new imaging techniques and supporting cutting-edge clinical research, we remain committed to shaping a future where cancer care continues to improve.
In honour of World Cancer Day — and in support of every Canadian impacted by cancer — we’re dedicated to driving the innovations that make a real difference in people’s lives. ... See MoreSee Less
