In 1963, AECL established the Whiteshell Nuclear Research Establishment (now Whiteshell Laboratories) in Pinawa, Manitoba, where an organically moderated and cooled reactor was built. Later work on developing a SLOWPOKE reactor, thorium fuel cycle, and a proposal for safe storage of radioactive waste were carried out at this site.

CNL began developing nuclear technology in the late 1940's and early 1950's. [2] The government owned company Atomic energy of Canada Limited (AECL) took over Chalk River Nuclear Laboratories in 1952, but today the site remains operated through contractors such as CNL. [4] This is referred to as GoCo management, government owned and contractor ...
The Whiteshell Reactor No. 1, or WR-1, was a Canadian research reactor located at AECL's Whiteshell Laboratories (WNRL) in Manitoba.Originally known as Organic-Cooled Deuterium-Reactor Experiment (OCDRE), [1] it was built to test the concept of a CANDU-type reactor that replaced the heavy water coolant with an oil substance.
The Underground Research Laboratory was a test site for deep geological repository of nuclear waste operated by Atomic Energy of Canada Limited's (AECL's) Whiteshell Laboratories near Lac du Bonnet in Manitoba, Canada. The site was built inside a large granite batholith, typical of the Canadian Shield. The site was selected in 1980 ...
At one point, the Chalk River Laboratories produced about one-third of the world's medical isotopes and half of the North American supply. Despite the declaration of peaceful use, from 1955 to 1985, Chalk River facilities supplied about 254.2 kilograms (560 lb) of plutonium , in the form of spent reactor fuel, to the U.S. Department of Energy ...
