Queen’s University has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) and Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) to collaborate on research and knowledge mobilization related to the low-carbon economy. The institutions will focus on expanding research on nuclear waste management; materials sciences related to nuclear reactor cores and plants; cybersecurity; and hydrogen production, transportation, and conversion technologies. “Now, in partnership with AECL and CNL, we’ll have the opportunity to further harness the expertise and resources of academia, government, and industry to pursue shared goals in research and technological innovation – helping to shape Canada’s energy transition,” said Queen’s VP Research Dr Nancy Ross.
