Further Info] There are currently eight “operating” research reactors in Canada: two at AECL’s Chalk River Laboratories and six at universities. The Chalk River reactors are the 135 MWth NRU, and a zero-energy test reactor, ZED-2. The university reactors include five 20 kWth SLOWPOKE-2 reactors (at the University of Alberta (Edmonton), Saskatchewan Research Council (Saskatoon), Royal Military College (Kingston), Dalhousie University (Halifax) , and L’Ecole Polytechnique (Montreal)), and a 5 MWth MTR-type reactor at McMaster University. (A Canadian-supplied SLOWPOKE-2 is also operated at the Centre for Nuclear Sciences, Kingston, Jamaica, and two SLOWPOKE-2 units – the original prototype at the University of Toronto and one at MDS Nordion’s facility in Kanata – have been shut down). The SLOWPOKE-2 is a low-energ
