Book Description
This book tells us how nuclear power works, what it looks like, and why it is safe. It explains how nuclear fission works, how nuclear reactors are controlled, and how their safety systems reliably protect us. For those of us who have never visited a nuclear power station, the author provides detailed descriptions, drawings, and photographs. He addresses our concerns about radiation protection, the economy of CANDU reactors, the lifespan of nuclear plants, and plant decommissioning. This book provides an understanding of the use of nuclear power, with its potential to protect our environment and decrease global warming.-- Publisher.

Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Competition, International
Languages : en
Pages : 108
Book Description
The Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) is the organization established by the Canadian government primarily for the purpose of commercializing the Canada Deuterium and Uranium (CANDU) nuclear reactor system. Reviews past performance of AECL, its weak organizational structures and inability to adapt to the world market, past political constraints and political outlooks influencing management practices, and failures of CANDU marketing. This study provides a new cost/benefit analysis in order to establish a measure of AECL's success and to provide a basis for considering further public investment.

ISBN: 9780739109106
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 146
Book Description
This David and Goliath story chronicles and analyzes how a small, under-funded public interest group--Durham Nuclear Awareness of Oshawa, Ontario--mobilized opposition to the December 1994 re-licensing of the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station. Michael D. Mehta explores the struggle between Durham Nuclear Awareness and Canada's nuclear establishment to illustrate how risk as a concept can be used to understand contemporary political conflicts.

Pages : 0
Book Description
In the face of climate change and oil shortages, nuclear technology offers many important possibilities. Half-Lives evaluates the promise of nuclear technology as a source of clean energy, as well as the wide range of applications in medicine and industry it offers in a uniquely Canadian context. Without math or complicated science, Half-Lives explains the fundamentals of nuclear reactions and radioactivity. The uses of nuclear technology in Canada are explored in clear, accessible language, from uranium mining to electricity-producing nuclear power reactors (including the Canadian-designed CANDU reactor), to nuclear medicine and industrial applications.
