The Atomic Show #019 (MP3 – 16.3MB – 47min)

ByRod Adams

This week Shane and I talked about recent nuclear developments in Canada, about the Ontario energy plan, and about technical choices and opportunities in the nuclear energy business in Canada.

We discuss the potential use of CANDU technology for tar sands oil production and the potential use of SLOWPOKE reactors for district heating systems.

During the show we promised a link to the recent Living on Earth segment on new nuclear power plants. You can find it under the title of Living on Earth: New Nukes for North America.

We welcome your comments. As a matter of fact, the topic for this show was a direct result of a request by one of our listeners following last week’s show about nuclear power in Europe.

  4. Pretty good summary of the Canadian situation. Good work. The upcoming decision in Ontario about what technology to use for new systems will be significant. They have to choose CANDU if they want AECL to survive. It will be interesting.
