Beamlines to Breakthroughs: Accel-Link joins the CNIC

Toronto, ON – September 29, 2025 – As Canada’s isotope ecosystem embraces new technologies and production pathways, the Canadian Nuclear Isotope Council (CNIC) is pleased to welcome Accel‑Link Ltd. to its national network. With a mission to connect experts, students, and developers in particle accelerator science, Accel‑Link brings essential knowledge-sharing and technical advisory expertise to the CNIC’s ecosystem.

Founded by Dr. Morgan Dehnel, a Canadian physicist and industry leader with decades of experience in accelerator applications, Accel-Link. provides consulting services, technical content, and networking opportunities for those working at the intersection of accelerator science and real-world applications. Based in British Columbia, Accel-Link supports institutions, governments, and companies working to improve and expand isotope production.

Through partnerships with universities, research centers, and national labs, Accel‑Link is helping to build capacity for emerging isotopes such as Astatine-211 and Tin-117m.  Accel-Link is also advancing Penning ion source technology for enhanced PET radioisotope production through graduate and vocational Umbrella MITACS funded students and interns at the Selkirk Ion-source Research Centre (SIRC), a multi-institutional initiative involving TRIUMF, the University of Victoria, the University of Saskatchewan, TRIUMF Innovations, KAST and D-Pace, aimed at advancing ion source technologies critical to next-generation isotope production.

By joining the CNIC, Accel‑Link strengthens the accelerator-based expertise within the council’s network from coast-to-coast. Their work spans community-building, R&D integration, and the translation of complex science into tools that benefit the Canadian isotope sector at large.

“I’m proud to welcome Accel-Link to the CNIC and recognize the important role the company plays in Canada’s isotope sector,” said Melody Greaves, Executive Director of the CNIC. “Their role in strengthening collaboration and building technical literacy is a strong asset for Canada’s isotope sector, and will support future Canadian-made advancements and growth.”

“Accel-Link is excited to join and participate in CNIC in order to advance Canada’s isotope sector in terms of technological developments, and the training of vocational interns and graduate students for the next generation,” said Dr. Morgan Degnel, Founder of Accel-Link.
