National Research Universal Reactor
The National Research Universal (NRU) reactor operated by Atomic Energy of Canada Limited is a research reactor that is still considered one of the world's finest for its versatility and high neutron flux. It produces about 60% of the world's supply of molybdenum-99, a critical isotope used for medical diagnoses, as well as other radioisotopes.
