“This important mandate demonstrates our team’s trusted ability to deliver key projects across the entire nuclear lifecycle- including outside the operational nuclear power plant market,” said Sandy Taylor, president of SNC-Lavalin’s nuclear unit.
Once complete, the 12 shielded hot cells will safely enable post-irradiation examination of small modular reactor (SMR) components and next generation nuclear fuels. Together with the glovebox facilities contained within them, the hot cells will support the development of new nuclear technologies, such as advanced fuel fabrication concepts, and new SMR components. This technology will support the development and implementation of carbon-free nuclear energy, in support of net zero targets. SNC-Lavalin will also design and develop an active liquid waste management system for the laboratory.
As one of the largest research and development facilities to be constructed in Canada, the…
