What it does
Atomic Energy of Canada Limited manages nuclear decommissioning and radioactive waste responsibilities at its sites and at sites for which the Government of Canada has accepted responsibility. The objective is to safely and efficiently reduce radioactive waste liabilities by decontaminating and decommissioning infrastructure which is no longer necessary, remediating sites and safely storing and disposing of radioactive waste in a manner that protects the public, workers and the environment.

| Program | Relation | Years with data | Actual spending over those years |
|---|---|---|---|
