Atomic Energy Canada Limited (AECL) has exercised its option to extend the Government-owned, Contractor-operated (GoCo) contract to the anticipated 10 years.
The GoCo contract had an initial term of six years with an option to extend by four years. AECL’s decision to exercise the 4-year option was made based on the performance to date of Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) and Canadian National Energy Alliance (CNEA), and the ongoing need for the programs of work that are underway under the contract.
This is a result of the hard work and expertise and experience of the more than 3000 people at CNL, who are delivering important science and environmental remediation for Canada at AECL sites across the country.
This contract extension will allow for the critical work on the revitalization of the Chalk River Laboratories to continue, to allow for ongoing world-class nuclear innovation for decades to come. It will also allow for important environmental remediation work to go uninterrupted for the benefit of all Canadians and of future generations.

In this unprecedented time, communities are coming together across the country, to combat COVID-19. We at Atomic Energy Canada Limited (AECL) are proud to contribute to Canada’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our sites are home to some of Canada’s largest scientific installations. Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL), which operates our sites, has mobilized its scientists and engineers to apply expertise in support of innovative solutions to the challenges created by COVID-19. CNL is part of a team developing a ventilator model that is easy-to-produce, using off-the-shelf, easily accessible parts.
This morning, Prime Minister Trudeau highlighted the work of Dr. Art McDonald, TRIUMF, Canadian Nuclear Laboratories, and SNOLAB to develop an easy-to-produce ventilator using off-the-shelf, easily accessible parts.
