Canada's Nuclear Expertise In the more than 40 countries with active nuclear power programs, Canada is renowned for its unique expertise and experience. We bring to our customers a depth of resources not available from any other nuclear vendor. From basic research to component manufacture, radioisotopes to reactor technology, medical therapy equipment to power plant support services, Canada can supply know-how, goods, and services unparalleled in the world. Canada's nuclear program evolved from a joint development with the United States and Britain in the early 1940s. Canada was, in fact, one of the first countries to enter the nuclear age - our experimental ZEEP research facility was the first nuclear reactor to go into operation outside the USA. The research performed on ZEEP and its more sophisticated successors forms the foundation of Canada's nuclear achievements.The launching of Canada's nuclear power program in the early 1950s was a team effort involving industry, electrical utilities, consulting engineers, and our national nuclear organization, Atomic Energy of Canada Limited. The cooperative approach has been maintained as the industry has grown; the success of the program is a direct result of the commitment of the individual members of the team. Today, our CANDU® nuclear power system stands as Canada's most outstanding technological achievement. As this brochure will show Canada has made an outstanding contribution to the peaceful uses of nuclear energy through three venues: • our power reactor industry, producer of CANDU, the system with the best performance record in the world • our radioisotope industry, supplier of some 65% of the radioisotopes used worldwide today • our uranium industry, currently the largest in the world. Atomic Energy of Canada Limited Leading Canada's nuclear effort is Atomic Energy of Canada Limited, a state-owned corporation which: • conducts nuclear research and development • engineers the CANDU system • provides nuclear engineering services to electrical utilities worldwide • supplies heavy water • manufactures medical and industrial radiation equipment • produces radioisotopes • develops disposal technology and processes for radioactive waste • designs research reactors and facilities. Rich in human and technical resources, AECL is a multi-disciplinary engineering, research, and commercial enterprise employing 5500 people in its four operating divisions - CANDU Operations, Research Company, Radiochemical Company, and Medical Products Division.
