Program Title: 10 years after Fukushima, Canada Still Embraces the Atom: The Debut of the Small Moderate Reactors
Description: This week on the Global Research News Hour following the 10th anniversary of the destruction of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactors and the 35th anniversary of the demise of Chernobyl, we focus our attention on nuclear power in Canada as it is anticipated as part of a solution to fighting greenhouse gas emissions with so called clean energy. In our first half hour we hear from environmental journalist Robert Hunziker about Fukushima 10 years later and the role of various authorities to conceal the output of the disaster. Then in our last half hour, we hear a podcast from CFUV’s Chris cook with Professor M V Ramana, Simons Chair in Disarmament, Global and Human Security about his reservations to embracing the SMR platform announced by the government as part of the Government’s climate action plan.
