Among the projects CNL is pursuing is the siting of small modular reactors (SMRs) at the Chalk River campus; research related to the production and distribution of next-generation medical isotopes; and some of the largest and most complex environmental remediation projects ever undertaken in Canada. This is in addition to projects studying hydrogen energy, advanced nuclear fuels, environmental sciences, cyber security, radiopharmaceutical development, and a whole host of other areas of research.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]All of this work is being conducted at the Chalk River Laboratories, which is being modernized through the revitalization of essential site infrastructure and a significant investment in new, world-class science facilities.
