View change
Participant Funding program content updated
The source page now presents the broader Participant Funding Program instead of the older Canadian Nuclear Laboratories Nuclear Power Demonstration Closure Project notice. It now shows an open 2026 opportunity for Ontario Power Generation’s Western Waste Management Facility licence renewal with a maximum amount of $200,000 and an application period from March 25 to June 16, 2026. The page also adds or revises the program rules: eligible applicants, ineligible applicants, eligible expenses, ineligible costs, the three-step application process, review by a Funding Review Committee, contribution agreement requirements, and payment timing within 30 days of a valid final financial report. Contact information has been simplified to email only, and the earlier project-specific phone, mail, and fax details are no longer shown.
