Stern Laboratories Inc. is a Canadian owned private corporation that conducts reliability and safety experiments for utilities, nuclear reactor and fuel vendors, government agencies and nuclear equipment suppliers. We also manufacture specialized devices, such as electrically heated nuclear fuel simulators and equipment for remote inspection and handling of spent nuclear fuel. We have a skilled and experienced staff of professional engineers and engineering technologists and have served the Nuclear Industry in Canada and in many other countries for over 45 years.

The laboratory specializes in the design and construction of experimental devices and facilities to simulate reactor heat transport systems, safety systems, fuel and fuel channel components, conducting experiments in these facilities and analyzing and reporting the results. Highly specialized computing hardware and software are available for precise control of test conditions and for high speed, accurate acquisition and reduction of data for experiments involving up to many thousands of measurements per second. The laboratory facilities are continually being upgraded to meet the needs of our customers. Space and services are readily available for new programs. Experimental results are treated confidentially and our reports address customer objectives in a lucid and straight-forward manner.

Cost is always a primary consideration and expenditures and progress are monitored by the Project Engineer to ensure the best value for our customers. We have a comprehensive quality assurance program in place which meets the requirements of ISO 9001 (1994) and 10CFR50 Appendix B. Engineers with many years of experience in the design of successful experimental programs, including construction and operation of the experimental equipment, are available for consultation and to provide realistic proposals for your work, showing how, when, and at what cost we can meet your requirements.
