CNL Nuclear Research and Reactor Support
Coverage from Sustainability Magazine, Santa Maria Times, and others

Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) combines nuclear research and laboratory capabilities with technical support for Canada’s reactor fleet and prospective nuclear projects.
Its work includes microreactors for remote applications, CANDU technology and heavy-water production, and collaborations with nuclear organizations and industry. Investment to modernize Chalk River Laboratories supports this institutional capacity, while CNL’s research priorities connect to projects such as the planned small modular reactors at Darlington and reactor refurbishments at Pickering.
