n 1932, but they did not begin to inform the workers and compensate their widowed families until 1973.We have not found a way to dispose of nuclear waste produced from nuclear reactors. In Canada, there is about 200 million tons of radioactive waste from uranium mining. We also have not found a way to dispose of the waste, safely, from nuclear power stations. This waste will remain active for hundreds of thousands of years. In 1978, in Canada, the Ontario Royal Commission recommended that world class ecologists should study the long-term problem of finding a way to safely contain radioactive waste and so that the future of nuclear power can be assessed. The government has ignored all of these requests. In 1975, they evacuated St.Marys school in Port Hope because high level of contamination in the cafeteria. In the construction of that building and many other buildings in town large volumes of radioactive wastes, they soon learned, had been used .The world is relying on a brighter, smarter future generation to solve our problem of creating a way to dispose of this waste. When we think of the world as a biodome, we are stuck on earth; we cannot just destroy it and then jump to another planet. Currently we are digging ourselves in a deeper and deeper hole. We have already created a mess that we cannot take care of. This is unfair to the next generation, they may not be able to fix our mistake, and then what will they do? The problem all comes down to ethics, do we need to care about the earth in the future generations or are we just accommodating this generation?We receive low doses of radiation everyday. Some of this is from natural processes and the other is from human activity. Natural exposure to radiation destroys cells, but on a very low scale. The damaged or destroyed cells caused by natural radiation repair and replace naturally. If your body is not able to repair the cell, then it produces abnormal cells, which is what leads to t...
