Port Hope Uranium Plant Contamination Circumstances Contain Similarities to Huntington's Buried Uranium Plant

Port Hope has a water treatment plant supply its drinking water. Incredibly, adjacent to this water treatment plant, is a enormous factory which emit uranium gas and dust into the air and Lake Ontario. The Cameco plant manufactures uranium coal robs for export. Back in the 1950’s the Port Hope facility “used to purify uranium for fuel rods in nuclear reactors” and it supplied uranium for U.S. weapons until 1957.Dr. Dale Dewar, Executive Director (Canada), Physicians for Global Survival , has written regarding this Ontario town on the shores of Lake Ontario.

In the Common Dreams.org article she reported “hundreds of thousands of tons of waste containing several radioactive carcinogenic elements --- uranium, radium, radon and polonium --- accrued at the site and “were randomly dispense throughout the town in ravines and playing fields and used as landfill and building materials in basics for schools and public buildings.”Port Hope closed a “highly polluted” St. Mary’s School in 1975. It was impure with radon gas. After the closure , she reported that 200,000 tons of “severely impure soil” was “excavated” from 400 properties and “exported” into the Chalk River.

“Contrary to statements provide by federal government agencies, no level of radiation is safe and it is cumulative -- each dose adds to the danger of cancer. Children are 10 to 20 times more radiosensitive than adults, and fetuses are very sensitive,” the doctor wrote. “Uranium waste is radioactive for billions of years, decaying in sequence to radioactive elements ( "daughters"), all of which can induce cancer or genetic diseases when toward the inside the human body as hot spots or "internal emitters."
