All nuclear power reactors require uranium, a heavy metal, or plutonium, a uranium derivative, as fuel. The Gov’t of New Brunswick and the federal gov’t are supporting the development of new nuclear reactors. These proposed reactors will require uranium or plutonium as fuel. Why is uranium required to operate nuclear power reactors? How is plutonium created from uranium? What are some of the health and environmental impacts of uranium mining? What are the impacts on Indigenous communities? How are uranium and plutonium related to nuclear weapons? <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://unbvirtualclasses.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMrcuqgqjkjH9XywrX0SIMCOR8YnFsAXkb4">https://unbvirtualclasses.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMrcuqgqjkjH9XywrX0SIMCOR8YnFsAXkb4</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>_______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>_______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#7030A0'>Celebration of Life: Don Weitz 1930 - 2021<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Fri.
