mnr_tour_btnWelcome to the McMaster Nuclear Reactor

corenewThe McMaster Nuclear Reactor (MNR) began operating in 1959 as the first university-based research reactor in the British Commonwealth. Today our users range from students, academics, and small businesses to international industry leaders.

McMaster decided to keep its reactor open because its unique combination of facilities, skills and people fills a real need to match student learning with research and industry.coreofdiscovery_button

Our goal is to continue to be an integral part of the value chain of the industries which we serve. By becoming a link in their process, we become a partner in their problem solving and in their solutions.

Our strength lies in our ability to mobilize our resources: breadth of knowledge, skills, equipment and people. We have the ability to add value where it is needed.

Our commitment is to preserve these assets and to offer an array of services which would not readily be available to our stakeholders.
