Nuclear Laboratory Partners of Canada Inc. (NLPC)

Nuclear Laboratory Partners of Canada Inc. (NLPC) is the Canadian joint venture selected by Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) to manage Canadian Nuclear Laboratories Ltd. (CNL).

The NLPC team is led by BWX Technologies, Inc. (BWXT) and also includes Kinectrics, Amentum and Battelle. The president and chief executive officer is Dennis Carr.

As Canada’s premier nuclear science and technology organization, CNL is a world leader in developing nuclear technology for peaceful and innovative applications. The laboratories maintain a critical portfolio of work that includes development of clean energy sources, innovations in nuclear medicine, and restoration and protection of Canada’s environment.

AECL uses a Government-Owned, Contractor-Operated (GOCO) model for the management of CNL as it focuses on science and technology, decommissioning and waste management, and Chalk River revitalization missions. The Chalk River Laboratories represent the largest single complex within Canada’s science and technology infrastructure. The site contains several licenced nuclear facilities and more than 50 other unique facilities and laboratories.
