generation of Canadian scientists and engineers. By supporting Canada’s nuclear supply chain—from precision manufacturing and robotics to materials science—the ANMRC’s influence will reach well beyond the energy sector. As of 2024–25, Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) and Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) confirm that the Advanced Nuclear Materials Research Centre remains under construction at Chalk River Laboratories. Major site-preparation work, including mass excavation and backfill, was completed in 2023. The facility continues to target completion around 2028, with no official changes announced to that timeline. AECL’s most recent corporate plan describes the Chalk River revitalization as a multi-year, multi-billion-dollar effort, with the ANMRC as a central element of the renewal. Through construction progress, scientific potential, and future economic impact, the ANMRC stands as one of the most significant scientific infrastructure projects underway in Canada. By advancing research, supporting clean energy, and driving local development, it represents a lasting investment in Canada’s energy future.
