About the event
The McMaster Nuclear Reactor, operating since 1959, was the first university-based research reactor in the British Commonwealth. The Reactor was upgraded in the 1970s to operate at a maximum of 5 megawatts, the most powerful Canadian research reactor. While used to undertake research studies, it is also used to support various industries, and is a world leader in the production of iodine-124, a radioactive isotope that is used in the treatment of prostate cancer.
