The federal government is selling off its commercial Candu reactor division, Natural Resources Minister Lisa Raitt announced on Thursday.

Raitt said the government has invited investors to submit proposals.

"Atomic Energy of Canada Limited's Candu reactor division needs strategic investors to take full advantage of this opportunity, strengthen its global presence and reduce the financial risks carried by taxpayers," Raitt said in a statement.

In the spring, the government announced its plan to break up AECL and possibly sell parts of the Crown corporation.
