Canada's Nuclear History
Canada’s nuclear history is a compelling story of industrial and medical research, uranium and radium mining, and nuclear power plant development. It’s the story of the people involved in these nuclear activities and in developing the safe use of nuclear substances. It’s also the story of many “firsts” for Canada in the world.
