Good afternoon, I’ve been asked to supplement my colleagues presentations on the nuclear industry with some information on climate change and some discussion of the role nuclear energy might  play in meeting that challenge.

Dr. Don Lemmen, Director , Terrain Services Division of the Geological Survey of Canada made a most interesting climate change presentation to the Alberta Irrigation Projects Association Conference in Lethbridge in November last year. I thank him for providing his introductory overheads.  I’m making use of these to help provide some background on the climate change issue and Canada’s actions to address it. I’ll then focus on the ability of nuclear energy to provide process heat and electricity with minimal greenhouse gas emissions and provide a few examples of potential application in Alberta in the context of controlling atmospheric greenhouse gases.
