Thank you to @shafqatalimp and @johnpauldanko for visiting McMaster to meet with President Tighe and tour the McMaster Nuclear Reactor. McMaster has what the world needs.

Visited Canada’s largest research reactor, the McMaster Nuclear Reactor at McMaster University. For more than sixty years, the McMaster Nuclear Reactor has driven groundbreaking discoveries in clean energy, medicine, and materials. Its impact goes beyond research—fueling job creation, strengthening the economy, and training the next generation of nuclear leaders. Thank you for the tour and for the important work you do.

Through interdisciplinary research, the integration of traditional knowledge, and support for students and faculty alike—McMaster is fostering Indigenous knowledge and preparing the next generation for meaningful careers in health, education, and STEM.

Great to see @McMasterU unveil the new CANDU Core engineering design studio, supported by a $1.5M gift from @CanduEnergy (@atkinsrealis). Investments like this help strengthen the talent pipeline that will support Canada’s nuclear sector for decades to come. More 👇 thespec.com/news/hamilton-…
