Canadian Nuclear Laboratories

An important reminder! The call for abstracts for #Tritium2025 closes February 3. Canadian Nuclear Laboratories, Fusion Energy Council of Canada, Kinectrics, Laurentis Energy Partners and the Organization of Canadian Nuclear Industries look forward to seeing you there!

Happy New Year! As we welcome 2025, we are reflecting on all of the amazing achievements that have happened at Canadian Nuclear Laboratories in 2024. We also want to thank you for your continued support and partnerships, and we look forward to the year ahead! **************************************************** Bonne année! Alors que nous accueillons 2025, nous réfléchissons à toutes les réalisations étonnantes qui se sont produites aux Laboratoires Nucléaires Canadiens en 2024. Nous tenons également à vous remercier pour votre soutien et vos partenariats continus, et nous nous réjouissons de l'année à venir !

As we head into the new year, we’ve been reflecting on the major achievements that our team's hard work, passion, and innovation made possible. Throughout the week we will share just a few highlights, but we encourage you to see the full #YearInReview on www.cnl.ca/2024-wrapped/ 2024 Highlight - CNL received a renewed licence for the Whiteshell Laboratories Restoration Project (WLRP) from the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) for a three-year period, allowing CNL to continue decommissioning and environmental remediation activities at the site.

In honor of another great year of accomplishments at CNL, we wanted to highlight Chalk River’s decommissioning and remediation team, who accomplished a milestone decommissioning effort. The team has safely removed all waste from the historic “Bowser Room,” a formerly high-radiation area once used for reactor water filtration, in one of our legacy fuel storage facilities. Through innovative strategies, including remote-controlled BROKK robots and sea container extensions, we minimized radiation exposure to staff while removing just under 10,300 kilograms of waste. This groundbreaking project prioritized safety, efficiency, and environmental responsibility. Further remediation is planned to reduce any remaining contamination. Check out the “Bowser Room” in its working state circa 1950 and its final cleaned-out state just this year. Incredible work to all involved! #CNL #Decommissioning

Next up in our featured Awards of Excellence videos is a team that are recipients of a Distinguished Merit Award for their work on computational fluid dynamic studies and calculations to support decision-making for decommissioning strategies of nuclear facilities.

As we head into the new year, we’ve been reflecting on the major achievements that our team's hard work, passion, and innovation made possible. Throughout the week we will share just a few highlights, but we encourage you to see the full #YearInReview on www.cnl.ca/2024-wrapped/ 2024 Highlight - CNL signed an agreement with Natural Resources Canada to provide research to support small modular reactor (SMR) technology as a clean energy option to replace fossil-fuels. Specifically, this work is undertaking cutting edge research into SMR waste streams. Work under this agreement will help build in-house capabilities while supporting both industry and Canada’s broader goals for decarbonisation and economic development.

Throughout the week we will share just a few highlights, but we encourage you to see the full #YearInReview on www.cnl.ca/2024-wrapped/ 2024 Highlight - For more than 70 years, CNL has provided essential ‘cradle to grave’ commercial services to enable the continued safe operation of nuclear reactors on behalf of our electric utility customers, and facilitating reinvestment into the facilities and technologies deployed at Chalk River.

As we head into the new year, we’ve been reflecting on the major achievements that our team's hard work, passion, and innovation made possible. Throughout the week we will share just a few highlights, but we encourage you to see the full #YearInReview on www.cnl.ca/2024-wrapped/ 2024 Highlight - Construction of the Advanced Nuclear Materials Research Centre (ANMRC) continued this year, including significant progress in the foundation work for the shielded facilities in the north section. In the south section, steel and mass timber framing is completed, and the stage is set for work to begin on the interior laboratory and collaborative spaces this spring.

As we head into the new year, we’ve been reflecting on the major achievements that our team's hard work, passion, and innovation made possible. Throughout the week we will share just a few highlights, but we encourage you to see the full #YearInReview on www.cnl.ca/2024-wrapped/ 2024 Highlight - CNL successfully demonstrated the full production cycle for the promising radioisotope Actinium-225. This work includes the successful target design, fabrication, irradiation, processing, and final shipment of the product. Overall, the project team has demonstrated that the technology platform is sound, the logistics are manageable, and that the Actinium-225 production goals are achievable. This increased supply will enable more research and trials, helping bring this breakthrough cancer fighting radioisotope further towards broad patient use.
