In Part 2 of our Thinking is Power episodes with Melanie Trecek-King we discuss Science Pretenders (Pseudoscience and Science Denial).

Melanie is the creator of the website Thinking is Power.  In today's episode, Part 1 of a 2 part series, we discuss several topics related to critical thinking, such as: What is science? Why do we need it? How is scientific consensus built? How do we know what information is reliable? And how do we know which experts are real experts?

This episode features Dylan Moon, who assists Dr Chris Keefer with the Decouple podcast and Canadians for Nuclear Energy.  Dylan discusses his recent "waste tour" with me; what he saw, how he felt, and this thoughts after taking it all in. Enjoy!

In this episode I am joined by the Anishinabek Nation Grand Council Chief Reg Niganobe. We discuss the Joint Declaration between the Anishinabek Nation and the Iroquois Caucus on the transport and abandonment of radioactive waste - as well as other topics.

In this "short" episode, I take some time to review a chart I made based on the research I've done on deep geological repositories and rolling stewardship and their comparative risks.  Neither option is without risk, and we need to decide which storage option is the safest for the long term.

In this episode, Dr Jeremy Whitlock joins me to discuss his essay that I read in the previous episode, "Deep Geological Repositories for Used Nuclear Fuel: Stewardship or Abandonment." DGR-stewardship-WHITLOCK.pdf (nuclearfaq.ca)

In this episode, I read an essay written by Dr Jeremy Whitlock, entitled "Geological Repositories for Used Nuclear Fuel: Stewardship or Abandonment." Stay tuned for my next episode, where I speak to Dr Whitlock about his essay! You can find the essay here: DGR-stewardship-WHITLOCK.pdf (nuclearfaq.ca)

Dr. Jason Donev, a tenured professor at the University of Calgary, joins me to discuss energy and climate change, the role of energy in society and the wastes produced by creating our electricity. Check out Dr. Donev's energy site: www.energyeducation.ca 

Bill Daly from the Port Hope Area Initiative joins me to discuss Canadian Nuclear Laboratories' project to remediate and clean up legacy nuclear waste.

This is the second part of my discussion with Roy Payne of GDF Watch UK.

Roy Payne, from GDFWatch-UK, joins me in this first of two episodes to discuss underground vs overground storage of nuclear waste. GDFWatch believes there is an overwhelming ethical, environmental and economic case for geological disposal, but that the community needs to be informed and involved before a final siting decision is made.

In this second of two episodes, I am joined by Sean Wagner, a materials engineer with a Masters Degree in Materials Science. We are discussing corrosion, how it may or may not affect the NWMO used fuel canisters, and walking through some of the research papers associated with copper corrosion and used fuel storage. If you'd like to follow along, the paper discussed in this episode is: An update on...

The Mayor of Port Hope, Bob Sanderson, joins me to discuss being the host community to Cameco and the Port Hope Area Initiative.

The Mayor of Pickering, David Ryan, joins me to discuss being the home community to the Pickering Generating Station and future home of the Centre for Canadian Nuclear Sustainability.

In this episode I am joined by the Mayor of Clarington, Adrian Foster.  Clarington is home to the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station, the Port Granby Project for low level waste storage, and the future home of Canada's first proposed Small Modular Reactor.  

Jack Volpato is the current Chair of the Mayors Nuclear Task Force in Carlsbad, New Mexico. We discuss the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant and the community perceptions of the facility.

The final part of my interview with NWMO's VP of Site Selection, Lise Morton.

Part 2 of my interview with Lise Morton, VP of Site Selection with the NWMO. In this episode we get into some of the specifics of the NWMO project.

I am joined by Lise Morton, the Vice President of Site Selection with the Nuclear Waste Management Organization.   In this first of 3 episodes, we discuss her background and experience with nuclear waste, and talk generally about radioactive transportation programs and rolling stewardship, among other things.

John Heaton of New Mexico joins me to discuss the community perceptions of the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (a DGR) in Carlsbad. 

Some clarification for our followers surrounding questions we've received about the 2022 Referendum Campaign by Protect our Waterways.
