Canada’s nuclear industry is moving into a new phase, shaped by SMR development, new facility planning, and growing demand for reliable clean energy infrastructure. As projects become more complex, radiation shielding decisions need to be considered earlier in the design process.
MarShield will attend the 45th Annual CNS Conference from June 14 to 17, 2026, in Calgary, Alberta to join conversations across nuclear science, technology, SMR shielding, and industry collaboration.
For engineers, facility developers, and nuclear project teams, custom radiation shielding is a core safety, compliance, and design requirement, not a late-stage detail. Syed Abidi, Director of Business & Product Development, will be at CNS 2026 to discuss certified nuclear shielding solutions that’s custom designed for a facility’s layout, performance demands, and radiation protection requirements.
Custom Nuclear Shielding Built on 45 Years of Experience
In nuclear facilities, shielding needs vary by source term, room layout, equipment location, workflow, maintenance access, and long-term operating requirements.
MarShield brings more than 45 years of radiation shielding experience to these considerations. The company designs and supplies ISO9001:2015 and CSA-N299:3:16 certified custom shielding for demanding environments where protection, documentation, and fit matter from the earliest planning stage. This includes custom solutions for radioactive waste and fuel storage, gamma shielding, neutron shielding, and other facility-specific radiation protection requirements.
Engineers and facility developers can meet with MarShield at the conference to get shielding support that can align with drawings, technical specifications, and operational constraints before installation challenges become costly.
SMR Projects Are Raising New Shielding Questions
Small Modular Reactors are changing how the nuclear sector thinks about deployment, construction, and supply chain readiness. The CNS Annual Conference includes OCNI’s Ready4SMR workshop that will focus on how materials science and manufacturing are supporting next-generation nuclear projects.
Syed will attend the workshop to support valuable discussion around how nuclear energy, and the shielding required to support it, is extending into SMR applications.
As SMR projects continue to advance, radiation protection remains a critical consideration throughout facility design and development. MarShield looks forward to discussing how custom, certified shielding solutions can support the unique requirements of emerging SMR facilities while helping project teams meet safety, compliance, and operational objectives.
