The Atomic Show #054 – Russian – Canadian nuclear cooperation
Shane and I jumped around a bit, but spent most of the time on Russian interest in nuclear power
The Russians are actively traveling the world marketing their nuclear power plants and services. They have been in South Africa and Canada recently looking for cooperative arrangements to share technology and skills.
Shane and I also discussed some of the historical reasons why nuclear power had a tough time getting started in Europe during the 1960s – a big contributor was the flood of cheap oil from North Africa.
