Alberta Nuclear Nucleus

#canadians who understand #physics and #biology we need your help! Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) is hosting a discussion on the topic of #nuclearwaste minimization and classification for the purpose of modernizing the classifications of nuclear waste to more accurately represent modern understandings. We need you to join us in reading their discussion papers on one or more of the 4 topics and submitting your thoughts on how Canada can future proof its plans for nuclear was...te materials as we move forward into the era of #SMRs and Advanced nuclear technologies. The discussion papers, comment submission links, and discussion forums on each topic are here: https://rncanengagenrcan.ca/en/content/discussion-papers Please take a bit of time to read about how the future of nuclear might change in Canada and give a helping hand to design a future that benefits everyone!

the interplay between modern agriculture and nuclear technologies extends far beyond the humble grapefruit.

"To the Editor: Many residents of Kincardine work directly or indirectly at one of the largest nuclear plants in the world, Bruce Power. In the context of the two global challenges that face us, climate change and COVID-19 (Coronavirus), Kincardine is at the forefront of our solutions. Bruce Power provided 70 per cent of the energy needed for Ontario to get coal off of our grid which made Ontario a climate leader in terms of our ultra-clean electricity, and saved thousands o...f lives that would have otherwise been lost to air pollution. Every year, the plant also produces enough Cobalt-60, a medical isotope used to sterilize much of the world's personal protective equipment which is vital in the fight against the pandemic. Canadians for Nuclear Energy is a new grassroots, non-profit organization, made up of environmentalists, and health and labour advocates. We see Canadian nuclear energy as the keystone technology for fighting climate change, protecting clean air and keeping our economy healthy. Up until now, there has not been a non-industry associated civil society voice advocating for the benefits of nuclear energy. This year, we created a House of Commons petition signed by almost 6,000 Canadians and an open letter signed by many notable Canadian and international figures, calling for our government to support this sector as a vital part of a green recovery.

We are glad to be helping out Canadians For Nuclear Energy as they become the national level organization that nuclear energy in Canada deserves.

I gave a short interview about the benefits and possibilities of nuclear energy, Come join in and keep the conversation going!

Because reactors do more than just provide electricity.
