This panel will examine the risks associated with radioactive emissions and provide an opportunity to pose questions about risks and impacts to independent radiation experts.
Government, regulators and the nuclear industry - including the NWMO - claim that radioactive emission limits are kept “as low as reasonably achievable” and that at these controlled emissions levels human and animal health will not be impacted. Science says that there is no level of exposure that does not carry with it some level of risk to human health.
This session will explore the gap between the what science says and what the regulators tell us.

Environmentalists tend to be well-meaning, forward-thinking people who believe in preserving the planet for generations to come. Environmental organizations will advocate for reusable cups, circular economy, zero-waste, conservation and the protection of animals and their rights; but are often hesitant or completely invisible when it comes to advocating for social justice and the lives of Indigenous, Black, racialized and otherwise marginalized peoples.
This learning series seeks to examine the ways the fight against systemic racism/for social justice and environmentalism are linked. We will explore and contextualize our understanding of racism within environmentalism and the environmental movement in Canada, and seek to look for solutions and build the tools necessary to create just futures for our human and non-human kin.
