CANADIAN NUCLEAR LABORATORIES NAVIGATES PANDEMIC CHALLENGES WHILE MITIGATING OPERATIONAL RISKS
Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL), a strictly regulated entity, faced challenges with slow access to archived information amid growing records volumes, inconsistent manual practices, and difficulties maintaining inventories, retention schedules, and audit trails—exacerbated by pandemic demands. Iron Mountain's software provided a holistic digital strategy and end-to-end solution, centralizing and digitizing legacy records in paper, microfiche, data tape, CD, and VHS formats. This produced over 2.3 million digital images, advanced 100,000+ engineering scans, and enabled fast, secure access for collaborative work among physics, metallurgy, chemistry, biology, and engineering experts, as highlighted by Information Management Supervisor Megan Diamond—mitigating risks and ensuring operational
