For further informaiton contact: Dr. Jim Harding Director Prairie Justice Research Library Building University of Regina Regina, Saskatchewan Canada S4S 0A2 (306) 584-4064 NOTE: This research project was funded through "Human Context of Science and Technology" strategic grants of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. It is our hope that this publication will be of value to those committed to a better understanding of the nature and implications of uranium mining, alternatives to uranium mining, and the general human context of science and technology. The Cover Design Saskatchewan is now at the centre of the uranium industry in the world. Saskatchewan uranium is used in nuclear reactors in the United States, Western Europe, Japan and Scandinavia as well as some other countries. It has been used in the United States' and United Kingdom's nuclear weapons programs. The controversy about whether or not Saskatchewan uranium is used for nuclear weapons production, especially by the United States and France, continues into the 1980s. Since this research project is about the human context of uranium mining, the cover design symbolizes the historical and contemporary contro- versy about the destinations and end-uses of Saskachewan's uranium.

These grants included a seed grant awarded December 1982, a strategic grant for a pilot study awarded February 1984, and a strategic grant awarded December 1984 to undertake a full content and structural analysis of Saskatchewan uranium mining inquiry transcripts. Special thanks are due to: Ingrid Alesich who helped collect materials during the first year of the project; to Sharon Moryski, Linda Bradley, Trish Sailer and Kathy Chermishnuk for the word processing; also to Gillian Minifie of Canadian Plains Research Center for advice on publication details and style; and to Rick Coffin for cover design. INTRODUCTION Background to Bibliography In recent years Saskatchewan, Canada has become the major site for the expansion of the world-wide uranium industry. Largely due to the higher concentration of ore in the province and reduced exploitation elsewhere, by 1984 Canada had become the world's leading non-communist producer of uranium. This expansion has remained one of the most controversial political and ecological issues in Saskatchewan for nearly a decade. What follows is a comprehensive bibliography on the Saskatchewan uranium mining inquiries that paralleled the growth of this industry in the province and on the northern and global impact of the uranium industry. It is the culmination of more than three years of research including in-depth content analysis of transcripts of uranium mining inquiries held in Saskatchewan between 1977-1980. Sources of Reference Materials The scope of the search for relevant materials included literature on social and environmental impact assessment methodology; the debate on renewable and non-renewable energy; development and under-development theories; consideration about technology and development; and content analysis methodology. A computerized bibliographic search was completed using the data bases of the Boreal Northern Institute at the University of Calgary, government publications (CODOC), sociological abstracts, the Public Affairs Information Service (PAIS), and the U.S. Political Science Documents. These searches provided references on social impact, northern Canada, and development issues. Only a few research Items on human services in the north and on community- based impact assessment were located. Another computerized bibliographic search was done in an effort to expand the literature related to content analysis. Psychological and sociological abstracts and the Public Affairs Information Services (PAIS) were searched under the following key words: social values and public policy; social values and public opinion; environmental policy and public opinion; and content analysis and social values. Because of the close proximity of uranium mines to northern native communities, further bibliographic searching on the impact of uranium mining on aboriginal rights and land claims was done. The following databases were searched under the terms uranium mining and native indian/indigenous/aborigi- nal people: Social SciSearch (SSCI), Sociological Abstracts, PAIS Inter- national, US Political Sci. Documents, Pollution Abstracts, CAB Abstracts, Occupational Safety and Health, Environmental Bibliography, Energyline, Geo- archive and Georef. Bibliographies and reference lists in materials located through the searches were also reviewed for relevant citations useful to the research project. These were then included in the bibliography. Many of the references on the uranium industry are to primary materials such as legislation, lease agreements and documentation on public inquiries. Some of the citations are to unpublished material such as correspondence and reports from the personal files of the researchers or others who have an interest in the subject of the bibliography.

    CanNorth 2015 AthabascaUranium Working City Group Environmental Monitoring Program ABOUT THE AWG PROGRAM The Athabasca Working Group (AWG) environmental monitoring program began in the Athabasca region of northern Saskatchewan in 2000. The program provides residents with opportunities to test the environment around their communities for parameters that could come from uranium mining and milling operations. These parameters can potentially be spread by water flowing from lakes near the uranium operations, and small amounts may also be spread through the air. In order to address local residents’ concerns, lakes, rivers, plants, wildlife, and air quality are tested each yeah near the northern communities of Uranium City, Black Lake, Camsell Portage, Fond du Lac, Stony Rapids, and Wollaston/Hatchet Lake. The types of plants and animals selected, the locations chosen for sampling, and the sample collections were carried out by, or with the help of, northern community members. The purpose of this brochure is to inform the public of the 2015 environmental monitoring program results in the Uranium City area. STUDY AREA Water, sediment, and fish were sampled from a reference site and a potential exposure site in the Uranium City area in 2015. Fredette Lake was chosen as the reference site because it is not influenced by uranium operations. Black Bay of Lake Athabasca (Black Bay) is referred to as the potential exposure site because it is located downstream of the active uranium operations in northern Saskatchewan. Air quality is monitored at two locations near the community of Uranium City and plant and wildlife samples are collected each year near the community when available.

May 2019 WHEELER RIVER PROJECT TECHNICAL PROPOSAL & PROJECT DESCRIPTION Wheeler River Project Provincial Technical Proposal and Federal Project Description Project Summary English – Page ii French – Page x Dene – Page xx Cree – Page xxviii PAGE i WHEELER RIVER PROJECT TECHNICAL PROPOSAL & PROJECT DESCRIPTION Summary Wheeler River Project The Wheeler River Project (Wheeler or the Project) is a proposed uranium mine and processing plant in northern Saskatchewan, Canada. It is located in a relatively undisturbed area of the boreal forest about 4 km off of Highway 914 and approximately 35 km north-northeast of the Key Lake uranium operation. Wheeler is a joint venture project owned by Denison Mines Corp. (Denison) and JCU (Canada) Exploration Company Ltd. (JCU). Denison owns 90% of Wheeler and is the operator, while JCU owns 10%. Denison is a uranium exploration and development company with interests focused in the Athabasca Basin region of northern Saskatchewan, Canada with a head office in Toronto, Ontario and technical office in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Historically Denison has had over 50 years of uranium mining experience in Saskatchewan, Elliot Lake, Ontario, and in the United States. Today, the company is part owner (22.5%) of the McClean Lake Joint Venture which includes the operating McClean Lake uranium mill in northern Saskatchewan. To advance the Project, Denison is applying an innovative approach to uranium mining in Canada called in situ recovery (ISR). The use of ISR mining at Wheeler means that there will be no need for a large open pit mining operation or multiple shafts to access underground mine workings; no workers will be underground as the ISR process is conducted from surface facilities.

This policy transition was controversial, causing friction with U.S. allies, with the nuclear power industry, and with Congress. Early in his presidential campaign, Carter criticized the excessive federal financial commitment to developing plutonium-based reactors and adopted the view that the weapons proliferation risks of plutonium economy technologies were serious and needed to be addressed.

  • An Examination of the Causes of Education Policy Outputs in Ontario, Saskatchewan, and Alberta
    Why Do Parties Not Make a Difference? An Examination of the Causes of Education Policy Outputs in Ontario, Saskatchewan, and Alberta By Saman Chamanfar A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements of the degree of Ph.D. Political Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Saman Chamanfar 2017 Why Do Parties Not Make a Difference? An Examination of the Causes of Education Policy Outputs in Ontario, Saskatchewan, and Alberta Saman Chamanfar Doctor of Philosophy Political Science University of Toronto 2017 Abstract This study seeks to explain why partisanship—contrary to what we might expect based on the findings of other studies concerning social policies—is generally not a useful explanatory variable when examining the primary and secondary education policies of three Canadian provinces (Ontario, Saskatchewan, and Alberta) during two periods (the 1970s and 1990- 2008). Four specific areas of the education sector of the provinces will be examined: objectives of curricula; spending; ministry relations with school boards; and government policies concerning private and charter schools. Utilizing a qualitative approach and building on the findings of other studies on provincial education systems, it will be argued that in order to understand why the three provinces generally adopted similar policies in both periods, regardless of the differences in the ideologies of governing parties, we need to consider the causal effect of key ideas in both periods. In addition, it will be shown that opposition parties in most instances did not present policies that differed from those of governing parties or criticize the policies of such parties. This will further illustrate the limited usefulness of adopting a partisanship lens when seeking to understand the policy positions of various parties in the provinces concerning the education sector.
