Dear Editor,<\/p>\n

Your recent editorial (\u201cNuclear power not the clean energy answer,\u201d Sept. 4) includes\u00a0several factual errors.<\/p>\n

In fact, Canada has an exemplary nuclear track record with over 45 years of occupational\u00a0and public health and safety, and is a leader in the industry worldwide.<\/p>\n

Regarding Fukushima, it is incorrect to suggest that the Dai-ichi reactors were damaged by\u00a0the earthquake of March 11, 2011. In fact, automatic safety systems performed as designed\u00a0and shut down the reactors.<\/p>\n

Instead, the accident resulted from the tsunami that drowned emergency generators and\u00a0disabled the reactors\u2019 cooling systems. Three reactors overheated, causing meltdowns,\u00a0explosions and radiation release.<\/p>\n

As you suggest, it was clearly essential that Canada evaluate its nuclear safety following the\u00a0tsunami. This we did. Canada\u2019s nuclear companies launched a thorough assessment of our\u00a0own systems and operations to confirm their safety. This included looking at back-up\u00a0power systems and the ability of nuclear facilities to withstand natural disasters that could\u00a0happen here.<\/p>\n

On October 2011, the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) released the Fukushima Task Force Report. It concluded that all Canadian nuclear power plants are safe, with facilities designed to withstand conditions similar to those that triggered the Fukushima\u00a0failures.
\nOn March 5, 2012, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) released the results of\u00a0its November 2011 assessment of Canada’s nuclear regulatory framework. It concluded\u00a0that the CNSC’s response to the events at Fukushima Daiichi was prompt, robust and\u00a0comprehensive, and is a good practice that should be used by other regulatory bodies.<\/p>\n

The bottom line, which your readers should see, is that Canada has led the way in\u00a0demonstrating that nuclear energy can be harnessed safely.<\/p>\n

Yours sincerely,<\/p>\n
