A subsidiary of Ontario Power Generation (OPG), Canadian Nuclear Partners (CNP), is partnering with US-based BWX Technologies to help produce radioactive isotopes for medical use at the Darlington NPP, Canadian media reported on 20 June. It will become the world’s first large-scale commercial station to produce molybdenum-99 (Mo-99), the precursor required to make technetium-99 (Tc-99m) used in medical imaging.

Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) announced on 2 April that isotope production reactor the National Research Universal (NRU) at the Chalk River site had been permanently shut down. It will now be placed into a "state of storage" prior to decommissioning. The reactor, which produced about 40% of world supply of molybdenum-99 (Mo-99), ceased production in October 2016, since when it has remained on standby "in case of a significant shortage which could not be mitigated by other means". Research reactors in Australia, Europe, Russia and South Africa have since met demand.
