 Canada has a long history of involvement with nuclear research , dating back to the pioneering work of Ernest Rutherford at McGill University in 1899 . In 1940 , George Laurence of the National Research Council ( NRC ) began experiments in Ottawa to measure neutron capture and nuclear fission in uranium in order to demonstrate the feasibility of a nuclear reactor . For the purpose , he obtained 450 kilograms ( 990 lb ) of uranium dioxide in paper bags obtained from the Eldorado Mine at Port Radium in the Northwest Territories . For a neutron moderator , he used carbon in the form of petroleum coke . This was placed with the bags of uranium oxide in a large wooden bin lined with paraffin wax , another neutron moderator . A neutron source was added , and a Geiger counter used to measure radioactivity .
