07 - Testimonial with Background

  • CNL’s research is the first to suggest that low dose radiation can improve the efficacy of immune checkpoint therapy, which improves a new form of cancer therapy that’s already proven to be effective. CNL recently filed a provisional patent on combining these two therapies for the treatment of a specific cancer.

Small Modular Reactor Technology

We have a vision for the development of small modular reactors (SMR).

Much more than simply electricity generation, SMRs can be part of an overall energy scheme that includes district heating, co-generation, energy storage, desalination, and hydrogen production among others. These traits are particularly attractive to remote off-grid applications in northern communities or industrial sites, such as mines, where consistent, reliable and low carbon, clean energy is needed.
