UNRESTRICTED/ILLIMITÉE - TLP-White/Blanc Federal Nuclear Science and Technology Work Plan (FNST) serves the collective interests of 14 federal FEDERAL NUCLEAR SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY (FNST) WORK PLAN departments and agencies in the areas of health, nuclear safety and security, energy and the environment. [...] Federal Nuclear Science and Technology Work Plan (FNST) serves the collective interests of 14 federal departments and agencies in the areas of health, nuclear safety and security, energy and the environment. [...] Through the FNST Work Plan, federal departments and agencies are able to leverage the vast experience and expertise at the Chalk River Laboratories – Canada’s largest science and technology complex – to contribute to the government’s health, science, innovation and climate change objectives. [...] AECL is responsible for the management and oversight and engages with the various federal departments and agencies to develop a program of work that meets their needs and priorities and to oversee the delivery of the work to bring value for money for Canada. [...] The aim of the research is to better understand the fate, transport and biological uptake of polonium-210 (Po-210) and lead-210 (Pb-210) – naturally occurring radioisotopes associated with the uranium-238 decay series that exist at very low levels in the natural environment, including aquatic foodwebs, and may be elevated in uranium ore and tailings produced by uranium mining and milling operation.
