CHALK RIVER, Ontario, Sept. 07, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Advanced Nuclear Materials Research Centre (ANMRC) is not only the cornerstone of the Government of Canadas $1.2 billion investment in the site revitalization of the Chalk River Laboratories, its the future facility for Canadas world-class research of next generation nuclear technologies. On September 9, Parliamentary Secretary Jenna Sudds, M.P., and the Chief Science Advisor of Canada, Dr. Mona Nemer will join both CNL and AECL leadership to celebrate the start of construction of the exciting new complex one of the largest nuclear research facilities ever constructed in Canada.

About the ANMRC

In addition to its role in advancing next generation nuclear technologies to support Canadas climate action plans, the 10,000 square metre ANMRC will be critical to the life extension and long-term reliability of existing reactors, including Canadas fleet of CANDU reactors and other designs deployed around the world. It will also support the national nuclear laboratorys other research priorities public health, environmental stewardship and global security.
