[cdn-nucl-l] CBC archives on CANDU



Title: CBC archives on CANDU

FYI - The CBC has some interesting archival broadcasts (radio and TV) about Canada's nuclear program available on-line from its website:

http://archives.cbc.ca/300c.asp?IDCat=75&IDDos=104&IDLan=1&IDMenu=7

Included is a 20-minute radio interview with some (unnamed) scientists of the Montreal Lab, in September 1945.  It is obvious at that point that they didn't think there was a lot of uranium in the world, and weren't too optimistic that civilian electricity could be generated from fission anytime soon.  How fitting that the archives also includes a radio broadcast from 17 years later, on June 4, 1962, announcing the first electricity from NPD.
