They\u2019ve been very <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">safe for 45+ years<\/span> (as demonstrated by our remarkable safety track record).<\/p>\n<p>But we <strong>NEVER<\/strong> rest on our laurels. Here\u2019s what Canadian operators and the federal regulator have done to ensure the safety of our facilities post-Fukushima.<\/p>\n<p>Soon after the disaster struck, nuclear operators in Canada launched a thorough assessment of their own systems and operations to confirm their safety. This included looking at back-up power systems and the ability of nuclear plants to withstand natural disasters that might occur here.<\/p>\n<p>Last October, the <a title=\"CNSC\" href=\"http:\/\/nuclearsafety.gc.ca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission<\/a> released the Fukushima Task Force Report. It concluded that all Canadian nuclear power plants are safe. It also said our plants are designed to withstand conditions similar to those that triggered at Fukushima. Still, it\u2019s important for the nuclear industry internationally to share valuable lessons learned from the tragedy in Japan and ensure that safety standards and policies reflect current findings.<\/p>\n<p>Nuclear power is very important for Canada\u2019s future, as it is an energy alternative to fossil fuels. But power generation is only one of the many great things about nuclear power. Our nuclear industry provides a broad spectrum of products and services that benefit not only Canadians but people around the world. Nuclear science provides nuclear medicine and food safety technologies. Innovation in nuclear science is also being applied to address a number of societal challenges such as public health and transportation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last night, CBC\u2019s The Passionate Eye, aired a re-broadcast of PBS\u2019 Frontline documentary \u201cNuclear Aftershocks.\u201d The doc asks: how safe are North American nuclear facilities?
