Chalk River Laboratories (French: Laboratoires de Chalk River; also known as CRL, Chalk River Labs and formerly Chalk River Nuclear Laboratories, CRNL) is a Canadian nuclear research facility in Deep River, about 180 km (110 mi) north-west of Ottawa. CRL is a site of significant research and development to support and advance nuclear technology, particularly CANDU reactor technology. CRL has expertise in physics, metallurgy, chemistry, biology, and engineering and hosts unique research facilities. For example, Bertram Brockhouse, a professor at McMaster University, received the 1994 Nobel Prize in Physics for his pioneering work in neutron spectroscopy while at CRL from 1950 to 1962. Sir John Cockcroft was an early director of CRL and also a Nobel laureate. Until the shutdown of its nuclear reactor in 2018, CRL produced a large share of the world's supply of medical radioisotopes. It is owned by the Canadian Nuclear Laboratories subsidiary of Atomic Energy of Canada Limited and was operated under contract by the Canadian National Energy Alliance, a private-sector consortium "Canadian National Energy Alliance" led by AtkinsRéalis [formerly known as SNC-Lavalin], until the contract was awarded to a new consortium in December 2025, "Nuclear Laboratories Partners of Canada." Concerns have been raised about the new consortium consisting of three USA-based companies all with connections to the nuclear weapons industry.
