Candu Energy, a subsidiary of Canada's SNC-Lavalin, has been awarded a contract by the University of Alberta to lead decommissioning of its Safe Low Power Kritical Experiment (Slowpoke) research reactor. Under the "multi-million dollar" contract, which was awarded through a public procurement process, SNC-Lavalin will perform and manage the decommissioning work, including waste management. In addition to providing the necessary tooling, equipment and training for the work, SNC-Lavalin will also deliver project, training and support documentation. The Slowpoke research reactor design was developed by Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) in the 1960s. AECL's former Candu Reactor Division was sold to Candu Energy in 2011.
