The funding from NSERC and the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission supports research into the design, deployment, safety and environmental protection related to SMRs, which can bring clean, reliable energy to communities.
McMaster researchers have created packaging that signals in real time when food is contaminated with salmonella or other dangerous pathogens, without further lab tests or even unwrapping it.
The program is part of a partnership between McMaster, Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) and Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) to advance nuclear research, education and training.
