Nukespeak in the Great Lakes Basin - An OverviewThe Great Lakes basin hosts every aspect of the nuclear fuel chain, from uranium mining and refining, to nuclear reactors, waste facilities and nuclear weapons production facilities. Radioactive materials are regularly shipped between these sites. Each stage of the nuclear fuel chain has its own enormous radioactive waste problem. In addition, routine emissions of radioactivity from these sites add to the degradation of the world's largest surface freshwater ecosystem. A major accident at any one facility could have a devastating impact on the entire Great Lakes basin. Even if a catastrophic accident is avoided, these nuclear hot spots will have to be isolated and monitored for many generations to come.
This workshop will provide an Overview and the History of Nuclear Power / Nuclear Weapons, how they were sold to the public and will provide avenues of legal and political remedy.
