Within weeks, backup generators at nuclear power plants would have run down, and the electric pumps that supply water to cooling ponds, where radioactive spent fuel rods are stored, would shut off. Multiple meltdowns would ensue.

From Chernobyl to Three Mile Island to Fukushima, we've seen time and time again the dangers that nuclear power presents. So why would anyone want to build new or rebuild old nuclear reactors? Kevin Kamps of Beyond Nuclear discusses. 9 min. video

There is a bright coal-free future waiting for this province.

A plan is in the works to move over 23,000 liters of HEUNL from the Chalk River Site in Eastern Ontario to the Savannah River Site in South Carolina, another temporary holding site. This has never been done before. Here's why it’s a very bad idea, and what the safer alternatives are.

Can nuclear help avoid the worst effects of climate change? Only if they double capacity in the coming decades, which is highly unlikely given their expense, time-lag, age and unpopularity.

Share your feedback online or attend an event. Tell them rebuilding Darlington and Bruce nuclear stations are a bad climate choice, especially given that we have lower cost and lower emission options like water power from QC and conservation.
