Toronto

Welcome

We represent a group of Toronto area scientists, engineers, students and citizens interested in the peaceful uses of nuclear power.


We hold seminars quarterly for CNS members, international guests and public alike to inform our colleagues of the latest developments in all nuclear related fields and would enjoy seeing you out!  Please feel free to visit our site and let your friends know of our link.
