The nuclear industry has been in Port Hope Ontario for 70 years and its environmental impacts continue to divide the community. We may not hear about it often in national and international newspapers, but local groups are fighting their exposure to radioactive emissions from Cameco’s uranium conversion facility and historic radioactive wastes.

CTV’s W5 produced a documentary “What Lies Beneath” on the nuclear industry’s radioactive legacy in Port Hope.
