CNL’s Nuclear Research and Deployment Work topic image

Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) is a Canadian nuclear research organization whose work connects laboratory science and technical capabilities with reactor development and operation.

Its portfolio includes support for microreactors, CANDU technology and heavy-water production, and research serving existing reactor fleets, as well as collaborations tied to nuclear projects across Canada. Chalk River and Whiteshell are among the laboratories associated with this work, while Atomic Energy of Canada Limited has announced a $2.2 billion investment to modernize Chalk River. Together, these activities show how research infrastructure and institutional expertise support both established reactors and potential new deployments.
