It’s official – Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd will once again reach new heights in federal funding for the coming year.

AECL will receive more $1.2 billion in federal funding next year, to support both decommissioning and development at the Chalk River Laboratories, according to the federal government’s main spending estimates, published Thursday.

Total funding for AECL will be $1.254 billion for the fiscal year 2020-21, which begins April 1.

The funding is broken down into two components: $837 million for “nuclear decommissioning and radioactive waste management” and $416.9 million for “nuclear laboratories.”
