AECL Chalk River Gone

Article

The move to a “government-owned contractor-operated” (GoCo) business model for Canada’s largest scientific research establishment is expected to strip almost all of the 2,850 Chalk River employees of their federal jobs, pension plan eligibility and other public service benefits.

This place was dead a long time ago.  Now it is being buried.  Raise a glass to its former glory!

Extra Thought:  My dream was always for a nuclear research park at Wesleyville.  There could be an express train to Toronto.  The nuclear waste would be stored down there, and the park could do exciting research like fusion or quantum stuff.  You could attract brains there.  Why should the area west of Toronto have all the fun?  Right now the whole East is an intellectual wasteland.
