ECHOES OF THE ATOMIC AGE: CANCER KILLS 14 ABORIGINAL Since then, at least 14 Dene who worked at the mine between 1942 and 1960 have died of lung, colon and kidney cancers, according to documents obtained through the N.W.T. Cancer Registry. The Port Radium mine supplied the uranium to fuel the $2-billion effort to make the first atomic bombs. "Before the mine, you never heard of cancer," said CANADA AND THE BOMB: PAST AND FUTURE A nuclear chain reaction was first initiated in Canada on September 5, 1945, when the ZEEP reactor went into operation here at Chalk River. Originally part of an effort to produce plutonium for nuclear weapons, the reactor was designed by a team of Canadian, British, and French scientists and engineers assembled in Montreal and in Ottawa in1942-43.
NUCLEAR POWER IN QUEBEC Nuclear power in Quebec -- and indeed in Canada -- has turned out to be a very great disappointment. Once promoted as a safe, clean, and cheap energy source, nuclear power is now seen by many Quebecers as dangerous, dirty and expensive.
