Our lab signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for research collaboration on the X-ray physics and industrial radiography with Chalk River Laboratories, Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL), Ontario, Canada. The two institutions agreed to promote exchanges of researchers, information, publication of the results of the research and/or the implementation of cooperative research. AECL is responsible for the research and development of Canada deuterium uranium (CANDU) nuclear reactors. Both sides understand the significance of novel advanced X-ray technologies for non-destructive examination.
