Summary

Ontario Power Generation (OPG) is responding to a global shortage of purified Carbon-14, a radioactive isotope important for research and industry, by launching a pilot project in partnership with CCNuclear and RC-14 to extract and purify Carbon-14 from its stored nuclear waste. This initiative not only helps meet worldwide demand for this vital isotope, but also reduces radioactive waste at OPG’s facilities, demonstrating both innovation and environmental responsibility.
