The workshop papers examine past nuclear accidents, occupational health and safety issues, public health, the role of scientists, energy, public attitudes to radiation, communication by and about the nuclear industry, and varied public policy issues associated with the nuclear industry in Canada and around the world throughout the 20th century.  For information on pre-registration (deadline April 15) and attendance, please contact Professor Laurel MacDowell.
