Canadian Nuclear Isotope Council
The Canadian Nuclear Isotope Council (CNIC) is an independent organization
consisting of representatives from various levels within the Canadian health sector,
nuclear industry and research bodies, convened specifically to advocate for our
country’s role in the production of the world’s isotope supply.
A secure supply of a diverse portfolio of isotopes is essential to maintaining and
improving our standard of living. Isotopes are used every day to verify the safety of our
roadways, discover and develop natural resources, test industrial products, and support
research in mental health and aging.
The CNIC serves as a voice in safeguarding the continued availability of isotopes,
ensuring our public policies are risk-informed and science-based, and support the
highest levels of public health and safety. Leveraging existing infrastructure and
expertise will have a significant positive impact on human health across the globe,
keeping hospitals clean and safe while expanding Canada’s leadership role in the
global community by supporting new and innovative treatments.
