Pandora\u2019s Promise is easily the most significant communications event to affect the nuclear industry this year, with the obvious exception of the recurring mistakes in cleaning up the Fukushima site.<\/p>\n

The movie challenges a core belief held by the nuclear industry\u2019s opponents, that the dangers of nuclear energy outweigh its benefits. In mounting that challenge, filmmaker Robert Stone has provided the nuclear industry with an effective vehicle to re-open public discussion.<\/p>\n

Pandora’s Promise will be screened on CNN<\/strong>

Yet the movie is no magic bullet. Cheered by industry insiders, and reviled by its opponents, the movie makes effective points without always providing adequate context. For those of us who lived through the Cold War, and Prime Minister Trudeau\u2019s attempts to galvanize arms-control negotiations, and the trio of nuclear accidents at Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and now Fukushima, the movie covers familiar territory. We understand Stone\u2019s point of view, as my colleague John Stewart points out<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For those who are new to the debate, the movie takes for granted that audiences have sufficient information to consider the points in play. Rosey Li, our marketing officer who is new to the nuclear industry, found the movie\u2019s most significant evidence needed further interpretation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nuclear communicators owe the public a great deal of further information. If Pandora\u2019s Promise catalyzes a public debate, then we need to engage the public with answers. Not a sales job. Just simple, accurate facts.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why the Canadian Nuclear Association was established more than five decades ago. We\u2019re still here. We hope that we\u2019re still helpful, as new audiences take up enduring questions.<\/p>\n

By the way, John Stewart takes up some of those questions here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
