Ebook: Canada Enters the Nuclear Age: A Technical History of Atomic Energy of Canada Limited as Seen from Its Research Laboratories

Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) has made significant advances in the development of nuclear science in Canada and worldwide. AECL scientist Bertram Brockhouse's work on condensed matter systems won him the 1994 Nobel Prize in Physics and the CANDU power reactor is recognized as one of Canada's top ten engineering accomplishments. A fitting tribute to an important institution, Canada Enters the Nuclear Age is a comprehensive history of nuclear research and development at AECL and of the role AECL played in transforming a complex and demanding technology into a safe, reliable, and beneficial one.
