AECL is receiving $969 million in the 2016-17 main estimates that will allow AECL to carry out its mandate of managing Canada's radioactive waste and decommissioning responsibilities, and enable nuclear science and technology. Increased funding in 2016-17 will allow AECL to advance the decommissioning and remediation of old and contaminated infrastructure sites, and to revitalize the infrastructure at the Chalk River Laboratories. The government is investing $800 million over five years to renew those laboratories, including new and renewed science facilities that will serve the needs of Canadians as well as industry.
