The Nuclear AMRC now offers world-leading capabilities in bulk additive manufacturing with the installation of a £1 million automated cell built by Kuka Systems UK. The 10 by 5 meter cell features a six-axis robot arm that can carry different end effectors to investigate a range of welding technologies for additive manufacturing. The flexibility of the cell will help introduce additive technologies more easily into production environments. The cell is expected to reduce costs and allow more manufacturers to expand their capabilities.
Kamal Rajani spent time in July 2012 camping and hiking in two provincial parks in Ontario - Chutes Provincial Park for a couple nights, and Lake Superior Provincial Park, fulfilling a 10-year promise to visit the "big five" parks with his children.

The original plan was to go fishing and hiking in the Duck Mountains. However, after a visit from NCC volunteers Don and Karol Dabbs about opportunities in Manitoba, the new plan was to spend a day touring the Fort Ellice project with the Dabbs and then travel to Tall Grass Prairie to count Poweshiek Skipperlings, with a potential visit from "Joe from Regina". The day would then include an evening UTV tour of the Rat River Block in the Tall Grass Prairie Natural Area.
