A UNIQUE CANADIAN ASSET

The Radiation Safety Institute of Canada was founded in 1980 in response to the occupational disaster in the Elliot Lake uranium mines, where more than 200 miners lost their lives to overexposure to radiation and silica dust.  The Institute was formed to make sure that a tragedy like this never happens again. Today, the Institute remains Canada's only independent, national, not-for-profit organization solely dedicated to radiation safety.

"As global attention increasingly turns toward nuclear energy, critical minerals, and energy security, RSIC's keeps its focus on worker and public safety, informed public policy, and responsible economic development" said Natalia Mozayani, President and CEO of the Radiation Safety Institute of Canada.

"The Fergal Nolan National Laboratories are a unique Canadian asset and an important part of Saskatchewan's legacy of innovation and safety" noted Hon Reza Moridi, Chair of the RSIC Board of Directors.  "This anniversary is an opportunity to celebrate the people, partnerships, and scientific excellence that continue to help protect workers, strengthen communities, and support Canada's energy future."
