MarShield Named Official Canadians for CANDU Ambassador

As regulatory scrutiny tightens and radiation shielding demands evolve, Canada’s nuclear sector needs more than off-the-shelf solutions. It needs precision, partnership, and proven performance. That’s why MarShield’s recognition as an official ambassador for the Canadians for CANDU campaign marks a critical milestone for the future of radiation protection and Canadian-engineered nuclear solutions.

 

Why MarShield?

With over 45 years of experience in nuclear-grade radiation shielding, MarShield supports Canada’s nuclear sector with solutions designed specifically for reactor environments, radiopharmaceutical handling, and isotope production. Our products are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of nuclear operations, from high-dose-rate shielding to component-specific containment.

As a certified Canadian manufacturer with ISO 9001:2015 and CSA-N299.3:16 certifications, we meet or exceed regulatory standards for nuclear-grade quality assurance.

Key differentiators include:

  • Hot cell shielding, isotope transport containers, and modular shielding systems engineered for nuclear operations.
  • Lead pouring procedures approved for CANDU and nuclear-grade applications.
  • Technical support across the product lifecycle.
  • Customization-first engineering for unique geometries, site restrictions, or reactor configurations.
  • Decades of credibility supporting nuclear utilities, labs, and suppliers across Canada and internationally.

 

“Shielding” the Clean Energy Future

“CANDU technology represents the best of Canadian innovation—safe, efficient, and globally respected,” said Walter Silva, Vice-President of MarShield. “At MarShield, we’re proud to support this legacy and contribute to a clean energy future through our specialized shielding solutions.”

As nuclear infrastructure expands and global competition intensifies, Canada must protect CANDU technology and the domestic suppliers that make it viable. This ambassadorship, extended by AtkinsRéalis as part of the Canadians for CANDU campaign, reflects our long-standing contribution to Canada’s nuclear infrastructure and safety standards.
