A Critical Geography of Radium and Uranium Mining BEDROCK STORIES: A CRITICAL GEOGRAPHY OF RADIUM AND URANIUM MINING IN THE SAHTU REGION, NORTHWEST TERRITORIES by © CARMELLA GRAY-COSGROVE A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Geography Memorial University St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador August 2015 Power and domination have to be produced, made up, composed. Asymmetries exist, yes, but where do they come from and what are they made of? (Bruno Latour, 2005:64) ABSTRACT This thesis is aimed at answering two questions: how did uranium mining in the Sahtu region of the Northwest Territories contribute to the normalization of northern industrialization in the Canadian imagination? And, how is this historical normalization iterated in current policy decisions and negotiations around health and environmental assessments near radioactively contaminated sites in the Sahtu? Through a critical geography of visual representations and the discursive production of an industrial north, and employing visual methodologies, I unpack the rise of an industrial discourse surrounding Northern Canada in the twentieth century. Through an anti-colonial and de- colonizing theoretical framework I follow this discourse into current Sahtúot'ine (Sahtu Dene)-state negotiations around impact assessments of Port Radium and map the transactions of this controversy between the Délı̨nę First Nation and the Canadian government. In the first half of this thesis I examine how representations of uranium and the Sahtu have worked not only to paint the region as a terra nullius, but, more importantly, how these representations have worked to confine the Sahtu region within a discourse of industrial development. I conduct a close study of A.Y. Jackson's paintings of Port Radium and argue that the institutionalized dissemination of Port Radium minescapes has facilitated the emergence of a national discourse in Canada that privileges the interests of the mining industry, while marginalizing Sahtu Dene and 'non-scientific' knowledge systems and ways of being. In Chapter 3, I turn to a consideration of how these discourses are implicated in the ongoing controversy around the historical, environmental, and health legacies surrounding uranium mining in the Sahtu. I map the contours of the controversy around ionizing radiation and explore how scientific knowledge claims have collided with Sahtúot’ine experience and claims to knowledge throughout negotiations over mine site remediation at Port Radium and redress for the health impacts of the mine. The focal point of this controversy is the competing knowledge claims about the health effects of radiation exposure at Port Radium: while many Sahtúot'ine, former residents and workers at the mine attest to a drastic increase in cancer and death rates after living and working at Port Radium, government and third party reports continually discount these claims with epidemiological and statistical evidence. Examining both the historical origins and the contemporary iterations of industrial colonialism in the Sahtu, this thesis uses images, maps, and policy documents to understand the processes that have oppressed Sahtúot'ine knowledge in industrial development and in Sahtúot'ine-state negotiations around environmental and health assessment over the past century. ' ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost I must thank Morris and Bernice Neyelle for welcoming me into their home for three months; for their kindness, generosity, and wisdom; and for feeding me the most delicious fish I have ever eaten. To Morris, thank you for telling me stories that changed my life; for teaching me to fish and snare; and for building a wall-tent for me in the backyard. To Bernice for teaching me how to sew and bead and for being my Dene mother when I was so far from home. Mahsi-cho. I extend this thanks to the Délı̨nę First Nation for approving and supporting my research, and specifically to Paulina Roche, Orlena Modeste, Gloria Neyelle-Gaudet, Danny Gaudet, and Swanee Fink who made my time in Délı̨nę so wonderful and who guided me through the early phases of this project. Also, thank you to my youth-researchers who never ceased to surprise me with their insights, abilities, and creativity. In St. John’s, where the slogging happened, I am indebted to Arn Keeling who tirelessly believed I could finish this thesis despite the never-ending hurdles and who supported every aspect of this project as it traversed provinces, territories, and too many years. Thank you. Thanks are also owed to my committee: to Josh Lepawsky for being an inspired and wonderful teacher, for introducing me to the work of Bruno Latour, and for the editing of all and sundry; and to John Sandlos for support, encouragement, and insightful feedback. I must extend a special thank you to John O’Brian for showing me atomic art and for the seminar that started it all. Also to Allie Winton, my confidante in 2011-12, thank you for the well-timed gift of A.Y. Jackson’s Eldorado Sketches, this was a turning point. I would also like to acknowledge the precious financial support provided ' by the Department of Geography at Memorial University of Newfoundland, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, the GNWT Education Culture and Employment program, and the Abandoned Mines Project. This and all other undertakings would be impossible without my parents, Joyce and Stephen, whose love and insights, as well as passion for ideas, life, and art, are at the foundation of everything. Thank you. I must also thank John and Patrice for housing and feeding me along the way; Isaac for unending support; and Mary and Len for being my family on the East Coast. Lastly my greatest thanks are owed to David who has read every draft and who has been my sounding board at all hours and phases of jubilance and despair.

  • Early Progress in Building Confidence and Partnerships with Northern
    WM2011 Conference, February 27 – March 3, 2011, Phoenix, AZ Early Progress in Building Confidence and Partnerships with Northern First Nations and Communities in Low-Level Radioactive Waste Remediation Projects in Canada - 11321 Liliana Benitez*, Julie L. Brown*, Dave McCauley*, Robert L. Zelmer **, * Natural Resources Canada, **Low-Level Radioactive Waste Management Office. ABSTRACT In 1982, the Government of Canada established the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Management Office (LLRWMO) as Canada’s agent for the management of historic low-level radioactive waste. Occurrences of historic waste have been discovered across Canada. The LLRWMO has conducted remediation activities in Port Hope, ON, Toronto (Scarborough), ON, Vancouver (Surrey), BC, Fort McMurray, AB, Tulita, NT, and various other locations across the country. At this time, a key area of focus for the LLRWMO is putting in place a strategy to address sites in Canada’s north that were contaminated, long ago, by the spillage of radioactive ores in transport. The contamination is located along what is known as the Northern Transportation Route, a 2200 km long route of lakes, rivers and portage points beginning at the former Port Radium site on Great Bear Lake, NT and extending to Fort McMurray, AB. To carry out its work in the north, the LLRWMO is adapting methods of community engagement and technical approaches that have led to successful remediation projects in Canada’s southern regions. Adjustments are being made to meet the realities of the north. Those realities include the challenges of Canada’s northern geography and environment and the need for understanding the ways of northern peoples.

  • Asbestos Hill: Inuit Experiences with Nunavik’S First Mine
    ASBESTOS HILL: INUIT EXPERIENCES WITH NUNAVIK’S FIRST MINE by © Jeanette Carney A Thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Geography Memorial University of Newfoundland October, 2016 St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador ABSTRACT Over the past century, the Canadian north has experienced an economic, social, and environmental transformation due to mineral development projects. These new developments have contributed to the rapid modernization of Aboriginal and Inuit peoples. Research has shown that past mines in the North continue to play a role in northern communities, shaping community identity and leaving behind negative environmental and socio-cultural legacies. As of yet, little social science research has been undertaken on the impacts of mining in Nunavik (northern Québec) and this study is the first to be conducted on the Asbestos Hill mine (1972-1984), Nunavik’s first mine. Using oral history and archival research methods, this thesis examines past Inuit mine workers’ experiences at the mine, the communities of Salluit and Kangiqsujuaq’s encounters with this industrial operation, and the legacies it left behind. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My Master’s thesis has been an incredibly difficult and gratifying experience, which could not have been possible without the support of my mentors, colleagues, family, and friends. Their continual encouragement, empathy, and assistance have helped me persevere throughout the research and writing processes of this Master’s. First, and foremost, I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr. Arn Keeling, for his exceptional guidance, insight, and expertise throughout the past two years.

The Great Bear Lake: Its Place in History LIONEL JOHNSON1 INTRODUCTION Great Bear Lake (Fig. 1) is one of the most prominent geographic features of northern Canada. Shaped likethe missing piece of a jigsaw puzzle, with five arms radiating from a central body, it has a total area of 31,150 square kilometres - approximately the same as that of the Netherlands. It is the eighth largest, and by far the most northerly, of the world's major lakes, and probably the least productive. (Johnson 1975a). PIG. 1 Great Bear Lake and surrounding area. The Arctic Circle transects the northernmost arm of the lake, and so the sun is visible from it for 24 hours a day in June, while in mid-winter daylight lasts for only twoto three hours. In July, the mean daily maximumtemperature is 19OC, in sharp contrast to the equivalent January figure of -27OC. Warm summers and cold winters, together with a total annual precipitation of about 230 millimetres, give rise to conditions which may best be described as northern continental.

  • Case Study of Remedial Works for Closure of Port Radium, Canada's
    WM2010 Conference, March 7-11, 2010, Phoenix, AZ Northern Mine Decommissioning – Case Study of Remedial Works for Closure of Port Radium, Canada’s Original Uranium Mine - 10397 G.M. Wiatzka, SENES Consultants Limited C.F. Gravelle, Decommissioning Consulting Services Limited ABSTRACT This paper provides a case study perspective on key aspects of the remedial activities associated with closure of the former Port Radium Mine site located on the east side of Great Bear Lake, Northwest Territories. The paper provides a brief overview of the process followed to identify environmental and risk management issues, identify remedial objectives and options, develop associated construction specifications and contract documents, and implement the construction works. The case study provides insight into the technical, logistical, and physical challenges associated with implementation of remedial works in northern remote locations and the approach and activities undertaken to meet these challenges. BACKGROUND SENES Role SENES Consultants Limited (SENES) has been involved with the Port Radium mine and vicinity sites since 2000. Initial efforts included undertaking various environmental assessments on under the direction of the Canada-Déline Uranium Table (CDUT) a co-operative initiative to ensure that environmental conditions at the site were appropriately characterized, that site issues defined, and that appropriate remedial plans were developed for the site. Following five years of site assessment and remedial planning, that included consultation with chief and council, as well as extensive community engagement, a final Remedial Action Plan (RAP) was prepared [1]. This document formed the basis for the remedial engineering designs, contract and specifications, as well as project cost estimates for the work.

  • John Weinzweig and the Canadian Mediascape, 1941-1948
    John Weinzweig and the Canadian Mediascape, 1941-1948 by Erin Elizabeth Scheffer A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto © Copyright by Erin Elizabeth Scheffer 2019 John Weinzweig and the Canadian Mediascape Erin Elizabeth Scheffer Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto 2019 Abstract This dissertation explores John Weinzweig’s incidental music for radio and film and its context in Canadian cultural life. Between 1941 and 1948, Weinzweig composed music for nearly one hundred CBC radio docudrama episodes and for four National Film Board documentaries. Weinzweig’s time at the CBC and NFB was his first large scale success as a working composer, following his graduate studies at the Eastman School of Music. Weinzweig’s incidental music was publicly broadcast across Canada, and can be interpreted in light of how it represents Canada during an anxious and difficult yet significant time in the nation’s history through the Second World War and the immediate post-war era. These works, featuring new music broadcast by organizations in their infancy, helped to shape audience perceptions of a rapidly changing country. I begin by situating Weinzweig’s documentary music both temporally and philosophically. The opening chapter explores his biography, the musical context of the 1940s in Canada, and the creation of the CBC and NFB, and it closes by discussing significant themes in the works: indigeneity, northernness, dominion over the landscape, and nation and national affect. The subsequent three chapters divide Weinzweig’s docudramas and documentaries by topic: World War Two propaganda and postwar reconstruction, Canada’s north, and finally a discussion of Weinzweig’s only radio drama The Great Flood , which premiered on CBC’s ii cultural program Wednesday Night in 1948.

  • The Secret Life of the Atom
    The Secret Life of the Atom a photographic exhibit by Robert Del Tredici with commentary by Gordon Edwards Ph.D. winner of the 2006 Nuclear-Free Future Award in Education produced on the occasion of The Indigenous World Uranium Summit The Nuclear Free Future Awards Window Rock, Arizona November 30-December 2, 2006 Column 1: History Lesson Much of the uranium for the WW II atomic bomb project came from Canada. The decision to build Canada’s first nuclear reactors was made in Washington DC in 1944, as part of the wartime effort to produce plutonium for the same atomic bomb program. After the war, Canada supplied plutonium (free) to Britain for its first atomic bomb, and sold plutonium to the Americans for their bomb program. And, by 1959, uranium had become Canada’s fourth most important export after wheat, lumber, and pulp; up to that time it was all used in the American nuclear weapons program. In 1974, India exploded its first A-bomb using plutonium from a Canadian-donated research reactor. Since 1965, all Canadian nuclear materials were declared to be for peaceful purposes only. However Canada continued to send irradiated fuel from Chalk River to Savannah River where it was used for weapons purposes, and Canadian depleted uranium continued to be used in the fabrication of American warheads. The large amounts of plutonium produced in Canadian reactors has attracted the interest of militaristic regimes in a number of countries. 1. Great Bear Lake.

May 1st, 2017, Halifax Nova Scotia ©Matthew Bailey, 2017 Approved: Dr. Jacob Hanley Associate Professor Department of Geology Date: May 1st, 2017 Ore mineralogy and uraninite trace element chemistry of hydrothermal polymetallic U-Ag-(Co-Ni-As-Bi-Sb-Cu) vein deposits, Eldorado Mine, Port Radium, NWT Matthew Bailey ABSTRACT The paragenetic sequence of uranium enriched polymetallic deposits at the Eldorado mine in the N.W.T, Canada, is poorly understood. Few studies have used modern analytical techniques to characterize the deposit. This study aims to update paragenetic models by use of petrographic work as well as SEM analysis. This data will be used in conjunction with LA-ICPMS to characterize the trace element composition of uraninite (interpreted to be UO2, U3O8 mixture). The data show that there are alternating sequences of coprecipitation between uraninite and Co-Ni arsenides. This indicates that the fluid is carrying multiple metals (U, Ni and Co) simultaneous and that a major factor in their precipitation is an increase in fO2. Our paragenetic sequence closely follows previous models Date: May 1 2017 2 Table of Contents: Figures list……………………………………………………………………………….4 Table list…………………………………………………………………………………5 1.0 Introduction…………………………………………………………………………6
