“We work with the CANDU Owners Group,” he shares, referring to the collective of CANDU reactor operators. This partnership is vital for sharing experimental results and operational experiences among CANDU utilities. By conducting research directly for this group, Stern Labs helps disseminate valuable knowledge that enhances the performance and safety of CANDU reactors worldwide.“This is a good way for the CANDU utilities to share experiments and experience,” Hadaller notes. Stern Labs also maintains strong partnerships with major Canadian utilities like Ontario Power Generation, Bruce Power, and New Brunswick Power, focusing on optimizing CANDU reactor performance and safety. Internationally, Stern Labs collaborates with Global Nuclear Fuels (GNF), a G.E. subsidiary specializing in Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) fuel. Another critical partnership is with GE Hitachi.“We’re working with GE Hitachi on some of the deployment of the BWRX 300 in Darlington,” Hadaller mentions. This project advances Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), showing how Stern Labs is able to support nuclear technology development. PRIORITIES AND FUTURE FOCUS Looking ahead, Stern Laboratories is poised for an intense period of project execution, innovation, and operational enhancement. The lab is gearing up to build numerous fuel simulators, requiring meticulous precision.These simulators are crucial for upcoming 49 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 11, ISSUE 10 STERN LABORATORIES INC.
