92.14 Halt the Promotion of Nuclear Technology as Safe Energy in Canada and Abroad
Whereas, There is as yet no proven safe method of production or using nuclear power as an energy source; and,
Whereas, The is currently a promotion of Canadian nuclear technology, at home and abroad, as a safe energy source that could reduce the global warming trend; and,
Whereas, In third world countries, the use of nuclear energy can be more dangerous due to less stringent safety standards and enforcement; and,
Whereas, To effect even minimal reductions in carbon dioxide production through the use of nuclear power, would require a proliferation of nuclear plants in Canada; therefore, be it,
RESOLVED, That The National Council of Women of Canada urge the Government of Canada to establish an independent commission to investigate the safety of nuclear power as an energy source.
