My Nuclear Neighbour
After decades of fading into the background the nuclear power industry is again hot news. For the first time since the late 1970s’ new plants are being proposed and built. The industry, and many others say that it is the only “alternative” energy that can save us from Global Warming. Is that true? Is there really a nuclear renaissance or just some masterful marketing? This is a story of global importance – it’s also a very local story. The tale of two small towns: one in rural Ontario has been a centre of nuclear power almost as long as there has been nuclear power. The other is home to ranchers who woke up one day to hear that Alberta’s first nuclear power facility is going to be their newest and nearest neighbour. Join us as Lorraine Jensen and Brenda McSween, travel from their farms in Peace River Alberta to Kincardine, Ontario searching for answers to questions that are devastating their families and threatening their once harmonious community.

Microbiologist Dr. Jennifer Gardy works as a sort of disease detective. No wonder then, that like many of us, she’s a big fan of those TV shows where forensic investigators use their scientific skills to solve crimes. Whatever their mix of fact and fiction the real secret of using science for solving crime may be less about technology and more about the careful observation of the natural world.
