2020
The CNS Chalk River Branch held a Virtual Lecture Series on WEBEX in celebration of Nuclear Science Week (October 19-23, 2020) and it was a great success.
Nuclear Science Week is a national broadly-observed week long celebration to focus local, regional and national interest on all aspects of nuclear science.
The virtual lecture series reviewed the accomplishments of the ZEEP and ZED-2 zero energy test reactors that paved the way for the Canadian nuclear industry and to this day support safe operation of the CANDU fleet while providing support for the advanced reactor fleet of tomorrow.
The lectures were in celebration of the 75th (ZEEP) and 60th (ZED-2) anniversaries of first criticality.
