“I would like to thank Nordion for their leadership in Canada’s world-class nuclear sector, and their support for CANDU technology,” said Joe St. Julian, President, Nuclear, AtkinsRéalis.

This Canadian technology supports clean energy and plays a vital role in the supply chain for radioisotope production,” said Riaz Bandali, president of Nordion.
