Toronto, ON – September 10th, 2025 – Through its work as the voice of the Canadian isotope sector, the Canadian Nuclear Isotope Council (CNIC) brings together all the relevant players within the isotope supply chain. This network of members includes Canada’s isotope producers, radiopharmaceutical manufacturers, transportation experts, healthcare and research partners, and importantly, the industry organizations who work to advance knowledge-sharing and education.
Today, the Canadian Nuclear Society (CNS) joins the CNIC, formalizing the partnership that the two organizations have shared in recent years. The CNS is a leading industry organization that promotes the exchange of information on all aspects of nuclear science, technology, and applications including isotopes. Acting as a technical-focused, member-driven organization, the CNS encourages education to enhance the professional and technical capabilities of those involved in the Canadian nuclear sector.
Within its efforts to grow and support the Canadian nuclear workforce, the CNS offers scholarships and travel grants to Nuclear Science and Engineering students at Canadian universities and hosts an Annual Conference to highlight Canada’s nuclear technology developments.
As part of this newly revived cooperation, the CNIC will collaborate with the CNS’ Science and Technologies of Radioisotopes (STORI) Division, which works towards developing up-skilling and educational opportunities related to isotopes for professionals in the nuclear industry.
“The CNS brings decades of technical expertise to the CNIC, complementing the already vast capabilities of the CNIC’s broader membership,” said Melody Greaves, Executive Director of the CNIC. “By joining forces, the CNIC and CNS will work together to strengthen Canada’s leadership in nuclear science and ensure isotopes continue to deliver health benefits for generations to come.”
“The Canadian Nuclear Society is thrilled to join the CNIC”, said Derek Mullin, President of the CNS. “It is a very exciting time for Canadian-made isotopes, and the CNS is proud to be involved. Through our Science and Technologies of Radioisotopes (STORI) Division, we will work with CNIC to help support education and exchange technical information to promote Canadian excellence in isotope technologies both at home, and abroad.”
