As we enter the winter and holiday season, we want to give a #shoutout to the unsung heroes at all of our CNL sites across the country – some of which will be working over the holidays.
Thank you to our Roads & Grounds crew who work around the clock to keep our roadways and pathways clear and safe for staff and visitors, our Emergency Response teams who keep all of our sites safe and secure, and our Powerhouse, Waste Treatment Centre, and Maintenance and Infrastructure personnel who ensure that our infrastructure and buildings are operating properly and safely.
It takes a village to operate Canada’s national nuclear laboratories and we have the best staff! ... See MoreSee Less

also to the custodians who are classified as contractors but here everyday of the year making sure the site is clean so they can operate cleaning up all of the sand and salt of the winter 😀
Thank you to all!!!!!
Hopefully they remember to cross into the CA2 side, it's always a sh*tshow!
Originally designed here in Chalk River, ON by Atomic Energy of Canada Limited, #CANDU reactor technology reliably, safely, and cleanly powers more than half of Ontario’s electricity grid and around 15 per cent of Canada’s.
As our country’s electricity needs continue to rise, the CANDU MONARK reactor design from AtkinsRéalis aims to build upon Canada’s proven nuclear excellence, promising the highest output of any CANDU reactor technology at 1,000 MW and a longer operating lifetime of 70 years.
During a visit to our Chalk River campus, we were delighted to platform AtkinsRéalis’ Chief Nuclear Officer Stephanie Smith and CANDU MONARK Technical Director Patrick Reid to tell our staff more about the innovative design and the impacts this new reactor technology could bring to Canada.
It was a lunchtime filled with titillating, technical discussions!

Here's a new acronym, DPDP for Douglas Point Decommissioning Progress! This fall the team safely dismantled the Administration Building, which was built in the 1960s & saw generations of nuclear workers pass through. While it's bittersweet to see it gone, it's a HUGE milestone as we progress with decommissioning Canada's first full-scale nuclear generating station: www.cnl.ca/dp Share your memories in the comments! ...

Last week, CNL took part in the largest ever Team Canada Trade Mission to Indonesia and the Philippines. During the jam-packed week, Canadian Nuclear Laboratories and the Indonesian National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) signed an agreement which lays a foundation for future collaboration and knowledge sharing across a wide range of nuclear technology areas.
CNL and AECL are poised to play a key role in the recently announced ‘Canadian Trade Gateway for Nuclear Development’, a Government of Canada initiative to expand Canadian trade, investment and jobs in the Indo-Pacific. This is an important opportunity for both nations, as interest in nuclear as a clean energy option increases across the region.

National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) were joined by the Mary Ng, Minister of Export Promotion, International Trade and Economic Development for Canada and Bahlil Lahadalia, Indonesia's Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources for the signing of the new agreement.
