Nuclear Power in Ontario
Ontario's nuclear power planets are damaging our environment and economic structure; nuclear power should be shut down and replaced with safer methods of power making. Ontario's nuclear power is not the safe and clean way to produce power, Ontario's nuclear plants are becoming outdated, nuclear waste is building up, and contamination is becoming more of a threat. Ontario thought that nuclear was clean, safe, and cheap way to produce power. During the 1950s, Ontario Hydro was looking for new sources of electricity to meet the growing demand. In 1954, a partnership was formed between Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL), Ontario Hydro and Canadian General Electric to build Canada's first nuclear power plant called NPD for Nuclear Power Demonstration. In 1962, NPD began supplying the province of Ontario with its first nuclear generated electricity. Ontario had found it's new source of electricity, and they were not fully aware consequences that would happen after many years of use. Power projects (later AECL CANDU), based in Toronto. Ontario and Montreal, Quebec became responsible for implementing AECL's nuclear power program and marketing CANDU reactors. Nuclear power was cheap, if you did not have to worry about the
waste. This was the answer to Ontario's power problems, so they invested in the newest source of power at the time. thorium and others. Radio-active tailings also result from phosphate hazardous for hundreds of thousands of years. They contain some
