Given these inadequacies of the alternatives, nuclear power becomes more attractive. Nuclear power does come with its own special problems. It must be conceded right at the start that nuclear energy, if improperly handled, is potentially the most dangerous of all our energy sources. However, with proper technological safeguards, it can be a safe, faithful and immensely powerful servant. Public fears about the . dangers involved in nuclear power are largely unfounded. When one examines the safety record of commercial nuclear power plants, one sees that it is outstanding when compared to that of other energy- related industries.The most serious nuclear accident to date — the Three Mile Island incident — produced less damage in terms of loss of human life or damage to the environment than a major coal-mine disaster, or the Torrey Canyon oil tanker spill. Also on the positive side, Canada is ideally suited for the production of nuclear power. We have plentiful supplies of Uranium 235 at Great Bear Lake in northern Saskatchewan, and at Elliot Lake in Ontario. As well, we ... and the con have an ideal disposal site for spent fuel bundles in the vast empty expanses of the Pre-Cambrian formation known as the Canadian Shield.
