Dear Editor
With Premier Brad Wall'ss announcement that some mini-reactors might still be a possibility I was dumfounded that, after the public consultation meetings and over 80 per cent of Saskatchewan residents saying 'no' to nuclear reactors , the Saskatchewan Premier would turn a blind eye and still think nuclear. Big business has more influence than the citizens of Saskatchewan.
He states that there is also potential for more nuclear medicine in Saskatchewan ?
He stated, "Our government didn't make its decision with respect to a conventional reactor because of political pressure , in fact, I'd argue that those opposed to adding value to uranium or looking at nuclear power in this province are in a minority."
Wall said, "But we did make the decision based on economics , based on the finances of it."
The premier says the government hopes to announce a partnership with a private company soon to research small nuclear reactors that could easily plug into the province's existing electric grid
I my opinion this does not sound like medical reasoning but full scale nuclear reactors to me .
Does Saskatchewan have an open door become a nuclear waste dump site?
I would suggest the citizens of Saskatchewan explore other political parties that oppose uranium mining and nuclear reactors. You will find only one .
