Almost 900 Canadian military personnel were exposed to radiation from nuclear weapons tests during the Cold War as well as two serious reactor accidents in Chalk River, Ont. during the 1950s, according to a report produced for Defence Minister Gordon O'Connor. The January 2007 report, obtained by the Ottawa Citizen, is the first time the full extent of the involvement of Canadian military personnel in U.S. and British nuclear weapons testing has been documented.

TWENTY YEARS AGO Greenpeace officials said that since the Second World War, 10 U.S. and Soviet naval accidents and a decision by the U.S. to intentionally scuttle one reactor have left 50 sunken nuclear warheads and nine reactors on the ocean floor. United Grain Growers has announced plans to build a $2-million fertilizer storage terminal in Shoal Lake, increasing the town's growing reputation as an agricultural hub.
That's certainly what I found recently in Ontario, where nuclear reactors have been producing electricity since 1968 and where more than 50 per cent of the province's electricity is generated by turbines driven by heat from nuclear reactors. I can't say it bothered me at all,'' she said, of the proximity of the reactors to her home and her children's school. "It's not an issue, I think, because I've never heard of anything going wrong or of it being a major concern.

You cannot have nuclear power without public trust," said Jan Beranek, nuclear energy project leader for the Greenpeace environmentalist group. "And you cannot trust people who don't tell you the truth or who build nuclear plants in earthquake zones. The sprawling, seven-reactor Kashiwazaki-Kariwa plant -- the world's largest in capacity -- suffered in Monday's 6.8-magnitude quake. A fire charred an electrical transformer, planks toppled into a pool of spent nuclear fuel and some 400 barrels of atomic waste tipped over. "It is impossible to guarantee 100 per cent safety," conceded Yumi Shimoda, 40, a marketing consultant in Tokyo. "But what scares me is the fact that they tried to cover up the truth in order to claim safety."

They've put out the lure - lured First Nations suggesting there would be employment and jobs," she added. "And in fact there might be jobs in the construction phase, but once that's over, there would be few jobs for First Nations people. "We've got all kinds of documents at the on-going meetings about emissions - the effects on air, water, earth, and human life," Tootoosis-Bull said. "We're all trying to work together at really greening the grid - nuclear power is not green." "Everything is going to break down, that's what happens," she said. "The nuclear industry in 60 years has never lived up to their promises. We need to stop throwing money at an industry that doesn't work. Let's do intelligent economic development."
