Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) said it has removed a “significant nuclear liability” from the Gentilly nuclear power site in Quebec by transferring all used nuclear fuel from the Gentilly-1 waste management facility to Chalk River Laboratories in Ontario.
CNL, a state body, said the project had been completed ahead of schedule, clearing the way for the next steps in the decommissioning and environmental remediation of the facility.
CNL undertook the work on behalf of Atomic Energy of Canada Limited, the federal corporation that has contracted CNL to manage and operate its sites and facilities across the country.
