☢ Highly Enriched Uranium transport objected to by First Nations <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=584a23cf4d&e=45743fde61>  “It is appalling that such reckless and irresponsible plans are given approval by the regulators and the Courts when far more sensible solutions are at hand,” added Kanesatake Grand Chief Serge Simon. Dr. Gordon Edwards agrees: “Canada in fact, is the only country in the world where these transports have been required or requested in a liquid form, and we believe that that’s completely unnecessary and foolhardy.” Listen to a 10 min. interview with  <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=37729faab7&e=45743fde61> Dr. Gordon Edwards here. 

☢ An excellent critique of The Ontario government's recent announcement of its  <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=8ce2539c73&e=45743fde61> "Fair Hydro Plan" And here <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=6617d8932b&e=45743fde61> 's more.

☢ Ten Things Canadians need to know about the proposed Chalk River, ON Nuke Waste Dump <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=b70c5d8120&e=45743fde61> This proposed mega-dump for radioactive waste would be enormous. It would stand seven stories high and cover an area the size of 70 NHL hockey rinks. And it's on the Ottawa River, drinking water source for millions of Canadians. 

☢ Citizens upset by proposed radioactive waste dump beside the Ottawa River <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=df772bd276&e=45743fde61>  A consortium of multinational companies is behind the proposal. If approved, the 30–hectare nuke dump would dispose of up to one million cubic metres of low- and medium-level radioactive waste.

☢ Local groups oppose plan for nuclear waste site on Ottawa River <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=903ce17bbf&e=45743fde61>  The site was an island in the river in recent geological times. Leaks from the dump could contaminate drinking water for towns and cities downstream.
