Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) and Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) are throwing a party at the Chalk River Laboratories, and everyone is invited!
The open house is set for Saturday, August 6th and will celebrate the revitalization of the site, AECL’s 70th anniversary and all the accomplishments made.
A lot has changed since the Chalk River Laboratories held its last Open House in 2017. CNL has completed construction of the Minwamon Building, a new site entrance, and a new support facility, broken ground on a new Science Collaboration Centre, and safely completed the demolition and decommissioning of over 100 buildings.
Construction of the Advanced Nuclear Materials Research Centre is scheduled to begin later this year.
The 2022 Open House will once again offer the public a unique opportunity to visit the site for a day filled with interactive fun for kids and adults alike, including scientific demonstrations, laboratory tours, booths and displays, mega-machines, hands-on experiments, a variety of food vendors, presentations and much more.
Registration is mandatory to attend the 2022 Chalk River Laboratories Open House. To learn more about the event, and to register for your free tickets, please visit www.cnl.ca/openhouse.
