the exchange of information between CNS members and the public, and
to develop educational programs (at the junior high school and high
school level) in this regard. - Outreach, outreach, outreach ...
- CNS
Manitoba Branch page - lots of good info here (performance data,
maps, history ..., thanks to Morgan Brown - Go, Morgan!
- Canadian Nuclear FAQ
(by a former student, Jeremy Whitlock) - Go, Jeremy!
- CNA - The Canadian Nuclear
Association is an association of many industries and enterprises sharing
a common interest in the development and application of nuclear energy
for peaceful purposes. Members include uranium producers, reactor manufacturers,
electrical utilities, engineering companies, banks, employee unions,departments
of federal and provincial governments, and educational establishments.
- UNENE, the University
Network of Excellence in Nuclear Engineering is an alliance of universities,
nuclear power utilities, research and regulatory agencies for the support
and development of nuclear education, research and development capability
in Canadian universities.
- The NWMO is a new organization created to recommend a long-term approach for managing used nuclear fuel produced by Canada's electricity generators. Their final report is available as of 2005.11.03.
- Environmentalists for Nuclear Energy (Canada) (EFN-CANADA) - a Canadian federally incorporated not-for-profit organization whose objects are to provide complete and straightforward information about energy and the environment, to make known the advantages of nuclear energy, and especially the environmental benefits, to bring together persons favouring the use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes with respect for the environment and with proper management of nuclear waste.
- WiN - Women in Nuclear Canada - A world-wide association of women working professionally in various fields of nuclear energy and radiation applications.
- Computer Codes / Simulations / Simulators
- Henrick Ericksson's Nuclear Power Plant Simulation
Java Applet - Pretty neat! - Please note that you must have
a Java compatible browser.

SImulation International - Nice! This is the simulator used
in the course Engineering Physics 704
(Nuclear Power Plant Systems and Operation).
- Radiation
Safety Information Computational Cente (RSIC) - Oak Ridge National
Laboratory. Hundreds of industry standard nuclear codes.
- The Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) Databank
is a specialised agency within the Organisation for Economic Co-operation
and development (OECD), an intergovernmental organisation of industrialised
countries, based in Paris, France. Codes listed here are not available
to Canada and US since the codes are available through RSIC (see above).
- T-2 Nuclear Information
Service - This service is run by Group T-16 (Nuclear Physics) of the
Theoretical Division of the Los Alamos National Laboratory, which is operated
by the University of California for the US Department of Energy. Contains
reactor physics codes, data and educational tours.
- See also the Download page.
- International Societies
- American Nuclear Society

of Physics Education (DPE) is dedicated to the advancement and sharing
of pedagogy related to physics education. The scope of the mandate includes
all aspects of physics education at the secondary and post-secondary school
levels, and in the community as a whole.
- The University of Texas ANS Student
Chapter - an excellent site.

and development of relationships between the representative organizations
of nuclear industry workers.
- Radiation,
Science, and Health is an international non-profit organization, organized
by independent individuals, knowledgeable in the radiation health effects
science, and in the associated public policy. They are knowledgeable of
the misrepresentations of the data, and the waste of public resources,
to support radiation protection policy, that provide NO public health
benefit. You'll find the UNSCEAR
(United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation)
reports here.
