Book Description
Coal is known to contain naturally occurring radioactive elements and therehas been speculation that as a result, coal-fuelled power generation stationsmay be significant emitters of these substances. In this report, the subject of radioactivity is introduced. The kinds of radioactive substanceswhich occur naturally in coal formations, the nature of their emissions andthe existing information on their behaviour and their effects onenvironmental organisms are also reviewed. The results of an examination oflevels of alpha, beta and gamma radiation levels, and the substances whichproduce them in coals, fly ashes, bottom ashes and related wastewaters atsix Canadian coal-fuelled power stations are presented. Difficulties instudies of this nature and the potential effects of these releases on organisms in the adjacent aquatic environment are discussed. Existing andpotential technologies for the removal of these substances from wastewatersare examined.

Book Description
Since the first atomic weapon was detonated in 1945, Canadians have debated not only the role of nuclear power in their uranium-rich land but also their country’s role in a nuclear world. Should Canada belong to international alliances that depend on the threat of nuclear weapons for their own security? Should Canadian-produced nuclear technologies be exported? What about the impact of atomic research on local communities and the environment? This incisive nuclear history engages with much larger debates about national identity, Canadian foreign policy contradictions during the Cold War, and Canada’s global standing to investigate these critical questions.
