The CNS has been a large part of a new initiative within Canada’s various nuclear organizations. The formation of the N6 group, sponsored by the Nuclear Leadership Forum, has been to co-ordinate the efforts in a number of areas which the organiza- tions have common interests. The members are the CNS, CNA, OCI, WiN Canada, NA-YGN, COG, and UNENE. This cooperation has begun with the joint contributions of the CNS and OCI in the 2015 CNS Annual Conference, in the ongoing co-operation between CNA and CNS with the Nuclear Industry Honours and Awards Program and the Student Poster Conference, and with the work of WiN and NA-YGN in organizing exhibits.

At the same time, the CNS has been highly active with its own programs during The Bruce nuclear power station will have six of its reactors refurbished over the next decade. the past year. We skipped the Annual
