https://t.co/fbeq1HWoRr movement is designed to be a green buffer zone to protect the #GTA & #Durham Regions from the decommissioning of the #Pickering #Nuclear #Generating Station at the end of 2026, & as such, needs to include the glacial Scarborough Bluffs managed by @TRCA_HQ

Re: https://t.co/cxOOQ0DGsV The #Rouge #National Urban Park already feeds into Scarborough's glacial Bluffs, which are part of the wildlife corridor from Algonquin Park to #Toronto, so our Carolinian Forest Bluffs managed by the @TRCA_HQ should be included within this expansion!

It can be a magnificent NATIONAL URBAN PARK!!
Extend the Rouge Nat. Park.

Did you know @opg's Pickering #Nuclear Generating Station's #CANDU Reactors can produce #Weapons-Grade #Plutonium-239 & even reuse decommissioned nuclear warheads from the USA as Mixed Oxide fuel right in Toronto's backyard, the largest City in #Canada with 3.5 Million Residents?

The World of Nuclear Proliferation & the Non-Proliferation Treaty Regime https://t.co/AAqFFQhfZV

[S.O.S Bluffs-Save Our Scarborough Bluffs @SOSBluffs]

There are 9 Sovereign States recognized as Nuclear Powers—5 under Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons per USA, Russia, China, France, & UK—along with India, Pakistan, N.Korea, & Israel; however at least 31 Countries with Nuclear Reactors can produce nuclear weapons

Russia successfully tests 200-ton Sarmat nuclear missile capable of striking any target worldwide, marking a major advancement in strategic deterrence capability.

The #Government of #Canada cancelled plans for the #Pickering #Airport in Jan 2025 in favour of transfering these #Federal Lands to #ParksCanada to expand the #Rouge National Urban Park, likely to create a "Green Buffer Zone" for the refurbishment of the #Pickering #Nuclear Plant

#Radioactive isotopes from #Nuclear #Reactors take from a few days to 100,000s of years to decay. While most fission products decay to safe levels within 100s of years, high-level waste containing #Plutonium like @opg #Pickering Plant can remain hazardous for over 100,000 years.

[S.O.S Bluffs-Save Our Scarborough Bluffs @SOSBluffs]

Nuclear reactors were initially developed during #WWII to produce #Plutonium for #Nuclear weapons under the #ManhattanProject (#fission bomb).Postwar this technology shifted to the military-industrial complex, (aerospace/atomic R&D, naval propulsion, medical isotopes/electricity)

[S.O.S Bluffs-Save Our Scarborough Bluffs @SOSBluffs]

The Soviet Union dumped 18,000 radioactive objects, including 14 #nuclear reactors, 200 submarine reactors & 19 vessels of radioactive waste into the Arctic Ocean (Kara/Barents Seas) between the 1960s-80s.Arctic sea ice has shown a rapid decline since satellite monitoring in 1979

[S.O.S Bluffs-Save Our Scarborough Bluffs @SOSBluffs]

As there are no safe means to dispose of #Nuclear Waste, many Nations have dumped their radioactive waste into the ocean without regard for marine life, with Russia, UK, Switzerland & USA as the largest contributors. Others include Belgium,France,Japan,Sweden,Germany,&South Korea

If #Nuclear power rather than fossil fuels were the primary cause of climate change, the global approach to energy, environment & industrialization would be inverted.Instead of reducing carbon emissions, policies would target radioactive waste, uranium mining & thermal pollution.
