Is anyone familiar with or have an opinion on the subject? I’m interested to hear others views.

It should be kept a Canadian entitiy. Also it should be used in Ontario, instead of put off to the wayside.

I agree, it’s ironic how one of the most safe and efficient potential sources of energy seems to be at the back of the line…

people g enerally are very ill informed about nuclear power, and perhaps a program of educational public broadcasts etc would help.
When you mention nuclear power people think back to the 70s and protestsabout radiation etc.

Here is a great way for us to ensure use of the safest nuclear energy in Ontario’s future. link

One has to ask if privatization is the way to ensure the safest nuclear energy. While one might expect that big business has an economic interest in a sound , reliable product we have to recognize that only the profitable parts of the AECL will be sold and we as taxpayers will still foot the bill for research, development and regulation.
I have commented before on this subject and while I recognize that Nuclear is probably the only way to meet the growing demand for power it is still not the cheapest and if OntarioHydro is any example of the future of power generation, let it stand as the example for what nuclear will cost in the future. Nuclear is already one of the highest priced power sources and who will foot the bill, ie) cost to deliver power, debt recovery, expansion and development…..Don’t look for inexpensive or affordable power in the future unless you can generate your own; but then, as I have stated before, they will likely find a way to tax the sun.

CANDU (“CANada Deuterium Uranium”) reactor is a Canadian-invented,Pressurized heavy water reactor developed initially in the late 1950s and 1960s by a partnership between Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL), the Hydro-Electric power Commission of ontario (renamed Ontario Hydro in 1974, and now known as Ontario Power Generaton since 1999), Canadian General Electric (now known as GE Canada), as well as several private industry participants.
