Significant quantities of highly enriched uranium (HEU)—more than enough to make a Hiroshima bomb—are used annually as neutron target material in Canadian, European, and South African reactors to produce the short-lived fission products used in nuclear medicine. The most important of these fission products is 99Mo, which decays into 99mTc, which is the most widely used medical radioisotope.
The U.S. supplies weapon-grade uranium to the Canadian radioisotope producer and might in the future provide it to the European producers as well.

Woe, Fallout 76 ports be upon ye. I can't be bothered to take screenshots right now, but here's a handful of outfits and accessories in various states of finished, including the Walton Ghoulggins outfit.
Craft at the chem bench under the "Fallout 76 Ports" Category, or just search FO76 in the console. Some of these are marked as unfinished, they are either male only or just placeholders. Canadian Tuxedo, Mothman Glasses, Leather Cap, and Military Cap have alternate textures you can select in the armor workbench. All are vanilla bodies, though the werewolf outfit is for EVB feet. "Outlaw Hat" (pictured) can also be worn by Dogmeat, protectrons and Codsworth.
These were ported by a drunk idiot, so some of the weights are still WIP and there may be typos. You can fix them yourself in outfit studio/xEdit.
Screenshot is using Desperados Overhaul/Badlands 2/REACTOR
#there are much better 76 ports on the XHX discord but these are some of the outfits that I couldnt find there#my mods#fallout#fallout 4

CAN-DU Attitude
Canada solved all of the problems with nuclear power in the 1960's. CANDU reactors cannot meltdown, cannot go critical, and use natural uranium, and so weaponization is even off the table.
Canada has some of the largest uranium deposits in the world, along with the Canadian Shield, and most of the world's fresh water, (also important for nuclear power plants.
Make Canada Nuclear Again.
Hell, why stop at uranium? We have even more thorium, and so LFTRs are the next step.

Space Shuttle: Canadarm

Officially named the Shuttle Remote Manipulator System, or SRMS. "In 1969, Canada was invited by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to participate in the Space Shuttle program. At the time what that participation would entail had not yet been decided but a manipulator system was identified as an important component. Canadian company DSMA ATCON had developed a robot to load fuel into CANDU nuclear reactors; this robot attracted NASA's attention. In 1975, NASA and the Canadian National Research Council (NRC) signed a memorandum of understanding that Canada would develop and construct the Canadarm.
NRC awarded the manipulator contract to Spar Aerospace (now MDA). Three systems were constructed within this design, development, test, and evaluation contract: an engineering model to assist in the design and testing of the Canadarm, a qualification model that was subjected to environmental testing to qualify the design for use in space, and a flight unit."
"The Remote Manipulator System is plugged on a side panel (left side) of the pyaload bay. The shoulder is on the front (near the cabin) and 15.3 m long (35.7 cm of diameter). It is fasten by three points on the payload bay. It could have been plugged on the right side of the Orbiter but it has never be done because the Ku antenna must be moved. Only one arm can be controlled by the crew (rear wall), even if the wires are already plugged to control two.

Its weight is 411 kg on Earth (carbon fibre), it can move payload of 29 tons in orbit. But it can't move its own weight on Earth, so to test it, it was lay on wheels. Equipped with video camera (one on the elbow and one wrist), it can move payload, bring them back or even act as a ladder for the astronauts during the EVAs. Finally, due to its high mobility it can also be used to look at different parts of the Orbiter."

"The first Canadarm was delivered to NASA in April 1981. Astronaut Judith Resnik developed the NASA software and onboard operating procedures for the system. In all, five arms – Nos. 201, 202, 301, 302, and 303 – were built and delivered to NASA. Arm 302 was lost in the Challenger accident."

i had to write a 6k word research paper last semester in which i had to do hypothesis testing relating to any subject about WMDs. my idea was to test why states step away from the brink of developing nuclear weapons or get rid of them, with a focus on two explanations: domestic normative changes (so, attitudes regarding nuclear weapons) and security-based explanations (do nuclear weapons provide meaningful defence to the state in question?). this was done in tandem with my plotting for buzzsaw 2, which made me curious about the strategic utility of projecting "safety" or "neutrality" to potential aggressors. the core dilemma in the story is about whether or not aliens can be trusted, or more specifically if kindness is present throughout the universe. it's really all about perception--so, how an individual perceives aliens. to link this with my paper topic, i was specifically seeking to prove that perceptions of nuclear weapons had a greater influence on the lack of horizontal proliferation than security issues. my findings were kind of interesting.
basically, i was proven incorrect. i used congruence analysis (comparing various states and why they did or did not acquire nuclear weapons) to do my hypothesis testing. i feel like rambling a little bit, so here are some of my favourite cases:
Canada (Nuclear weapons capacity: HIGH -- large domestic sources of uranium, multiple research reactors that could be converted to uranium-enrichment facilities for weapons production, encouragement from US to create arsenal, and sufficient high-tech weaponry knowledge to develop an arsenal). Normative explanation: Canadians on average do not perceive military strength as being a source of national pride. It isn't very important in the national consciousness. Security Explanations: Proximity to US means that any nuclear strikes on Canadian territory will provoke US retaliation against the aggressor. Moreover, Canada's nuclear weapons policy at the time emphasized the avoidance of negative security externalities--leaders believed that acquiring nuclear weapons would provoke enemy states into doing the same, and so chose not to obtain them.
Sweden (Nuclear weapons capacity: MEDIUM -- domestic plutonium sources, advanced weapons systems) Normative Explanations: Public support for acquiring a nuclear arsenal reached a high of 57% in 1959. A successful anti-nuclear weapons campaign by the Social Democrat Party sought to make Swedish identity and the possession of nuclear weapons "incompatible" lowered public support to 31% by 1967. The nuclear weapons program lost public support entirely within a decade. Security Explanations: Sweden was most concerned about a Soviet invasion of Western Europe. Despite being a neutral state, their leaders came to the conclusion that the United States would defend any western European state from Soviet expansion to prevent its sphere of influence from growing further. As well, Sweden was worried about provoking the USSR and chose not to develop an arsenal for this reason as well.
Brazil (Nuclear weapons capacity: MEDIUM -- similar reasons to Sweden) Normative Explanations: Brazil's nuclear weapons program occurred under its military dictatorship. After its collapse, the civilian government ended all plans to develop an arsenal. I'm not taking into consideration how Brazilians felt about it because it was a secret program. Security Explanations: The military regime was primarily concerned by Argentina's head-start on enrichment methods and ballistic missile technology. President Geisel established a military nuclear energy research program that ran parallel to the civilian nuclear energy body, CNEN. By 1990, they were believed to be around two years away from testing a Hiroshima-type bomb (admittedly, a piece of shit by 90s standards). The program was terminated in 1990 by civilian President Mollo. Notably, Argentina had transitioned to democracy a few years prior, which contributed greatly to the end of its paranoia towards its neighbour. (Military regimes are prone to mirror paradoxes, in which they assume their rivals are as equally unstable and militaristic. This was definitely true of Argentina's military dictatorship in general though).
My primary case study was South Africa, whose apartheid government built six nuclear bombs beginning in the 1970s until the late 1980s. I chose it because it's the only state to have ever built and then dismantled its nuclear arsenal. At the time, the government was very concerned about the survival of its white state, since the rest of Africa was decolonizing and they were becoming a pariah on the global scene for their apartheid policies. Also, Soviet and Cuban troops were running around getting into conflicts in the continent and they were worried about getting invaded for being anti-communist and super racist. This made them desperate enough to build nuclear weapons.
They actually tried really, really hard to get security assurances from the United States, which led to them going as far as to sanction Rhodesia for being white supremacist (a hypocrisy equivalent only to Norway convincing itself that it meets climate targets). They failed to convince the US to help them (because South Africa was strategically worthless, so it was totally within the United States' comfort zone to ignore them and later condemn them) and were pretty much only friends with Israel, who helped them quite a bit with the nuclear weapons program. In one of the texts I read for the paper (page 287 of Will South Africa Survive? by R.W. Johnson), there's a translation of a section of South African Prime Minister Vorster's interview with Israeli newspaper Ma'ariv in 1976 in which he states that Israel and apartheid South Africa kind of have the same thing going on, with specific reference to their policies of occupation and racial/economic exclusion. So, if you ever need some additional evidence that Israel is an apartheid state for whatever reason, feel free to cite a literal leader of apartheid South Africa admitting that Israel does the same thing.
ANYWAYS, apartheid South Africa got rid of its nuclear weapons during two events/processes: the end of apartheid, and the fall of the Soviet Union. The cause of their disarmament doesn't require much thought since PM de Klerk admitted to parliament that they got rid of their nuclear weapons because their primary security threat (the USSR) no longer existed. Their weapons weren't even very good (could only be delivered by bombers) and their entire strategy for them was to just imply to the US that they possessed them, which would force the US to step up and protect them so South Africa wouldn't reveal they had them to the world and potentially trigger proliferation across Africa.
What I got out of all of this isn't that normative/perceptive explanations for disarmament are worthless, but rather that security concerns must be dealt with as a prerequisite to disarmament. Sweden and Canada fell under US extended deterrence and felt no need to develop weapons, while Brazil and South Africa's regional security concerns collapsed and they no longer had a reason to have nuclear weapons. Countries who are not threatened by nuclear powers or are protected by nuclear powers do not need nuclear weapons to guarantee their survival.
Taking into this account, I've altered the story of buzzsaw 2 to reflect my findings somewhat. A lot of it is the same, I've just put a bit more attention into addressing the security dilemma faced by Earth lol. More specifically, how a planet can minimize security externalities to avoid provoking aliens and how the necessity of doing so can challenge the status of imperial powers on said planet...

Do Canadians generally know/learn much in school about their own nuclear-related accidents? As an American I only know a little bit about Chalk River (and that’s only because of the American involvement), but I would imagine it’s different for Canadians
Hope you’re having a good week!
I have an ask about nuclear energy related topics I am having a FANTASTIC WEEK I hope you are doing the absolute best anon 🙏🙏
But yeah, we don’t learn anything about them, or even just nuclear energy at all really! We have a small clean energy unit in geography and civics in grade 9/10, but teachers really like to put emphasis on the zero waste means of energy even if they’re way lamer and for losers 😒 FUCK SOLAR THIS IS A SOLAR ENERGY HATE PAGE!!!! (Im only half joking)
I didn’t even know about Chalk River for the longest time, and Im way deep into everything that can be classified as nuclear accident/incident, like there was a lady who was exposed to high amounts of radiation due to the machine administering her radiation therapy malfunctioning a couple hours away from where I live AND I KNOW ABOUT THAT but not a whole ass reactor meltdown??? Crazy
Everyone always leaves the Canadians out of stuff 😔😔
#whoever keeps sending me these asks im gonna kiss you fr#nuclear energy#nuclear disaster#also fun fact#im so obsessed with nuclear sciences that it was mentioned multiple times in my adhd assessment#nuclear power#canada#canadian#science tumblr

Interestingweird dream, i was looking at these really cool massive retrofuturidtfic buildings which was gonna be a space research center and offshore reactor but as they were moving the reactor chunks out to sea a huge storm came in and was sweeping everything back to shore. After watching this for a while from someones apt i sort of cut to being on the space center as a canadian alien ( & it was nominally in space now). After talking with my roommate we figured out how to privilege escalate the central computer which was really bad, but before we could tell anyone everything shut down. I was worried i was gonna be stuck because nothing worked but i was able to get a hatch open and go ofer to where the main airlock hatch was & get in that way, after which the drama vanished and i found myself in a huge resort. So I decided to go to the sauna but they were trying to put an entire sheet of paper on my arm as a wristband, but it kept not working. Weirdly then during I actually had the wrist bruise i had irl for ages from paintball & a scratch I got from being clumsy. And then I woke up.

Do you think there are a lot of radiation/radiation-related issues in District 13 from the nuclear technology? Sorry if this reads weird; I could not figure out how to word it right lol.
It's not worded weird don't worry!
I absolutely think there would be radiation related issues in District Thirteen... before the first rebellion I think that rates of cancer for those who worked in close contact with the reactors in 13 (nuclear mechanics- those tasked with repairs, all that) were much higher than average. I actually included a little bit about that in a fic I wrote called Blue Blooded! Little passage below:
Brielle shook her head. “She was out of work for two years, but that wasn’t the problem. Everyone who works on the reactors gets sick eventually. My mother was the first to get a real diagnosis. Before that it was called radiation sickness, and it was sort of assumed that you were going to die once you caught it, but some new doctor told her she had leukemia and tried to treat her for it.” She lowered her voice down to a whisper. “She said he was killed. Nobody was supposed to know what that kind of radiation exposure did to people. But they couldn’t kill her too, that would draw too much attention, so they forced us into l’abri. It’s easy to be forgotten down here.”
l'abri = the bunker (I hc they're French Canadian, and l'abri is a French term)
After the war, I think the effects of nuclear radiation were much more apparent and widespread. I'm basing a lot of my knowledge here around data collected from Hiroshima and Nagasaki after the WWII bombings. I think that acute radiation sickness, as well as blast and burn injuries killed the majority of people still above ground when the bombs were dropped on 13. As for the people below ground, I would say that the increased levels of radiation that were able to permeate their defenses cause an increased rate of still births, as well as developmental disabilities in children, particularly with regard to growth. And again, cancers, especially leukemia, were quite common.

Webcomic Check: Spring 2025
I'm starting to run out of clever things to say at the beginning of these posts.
Las Lindas: We see Buttdog for the first time ever in one of these webcomic checks, she is running towards someone she knows. Yeah yeah, you guys love pretending you're all some kind of star athletes, if you were you would not have time to draw this shitty comic.
But that's not important, what is important is that Sarah's boobs have grown bigger. Reminder she was a minor when this comic started, and anytime we try to do something "heartfelt", we end on women yelling, like Buttdog is howling.
"Gee GW, are you gonna say Chalo's style is getting uglier and uglier". Yes, Chalo's style is getting uglier and uglier. Even after god knows how many Webcomic Checks I've done on this fucking comic, it never gets better. It's like the American newscycle.
Spinnerette: Are you fucking kidding me, there is a fucking talking dog now. I thought Canadian Superheroes was only gonna be a trilogy.
The Spinnerette does the usual bullshit backstory, turns out he was experimented on with Chernekov Kirby Reactor during the cold war and that's why he can talk. Can't wait for Katt to defend all the atrocities Canadian government ever made once again.
Monster Girl Academy: Centaur Rapist and Cheenotaur have a boob growth contest, and it ends with "Fat Cat" having six pairs of tits. Good lord. Zack doesn't even CAMEO in this issue. This is definitive proof that Monster Girl Academy is running out of ideas. This isn't even sexy enough to be interesting. It's the most lowest common denominator feeling chapter in this lowest common denominator webcomic.
Kraw just...has no passion anymore. I would not be surprised if he is letting AI write all the scripts to Spinny and MGA and his stupid ongoing 4koma comic too. I can't even be angry, I am just waiting for him to retire with his millions.
Carnivores: We see the return of none other than that red dinosaur Makkilus from the Father and Son arc, holy shit, Austin's pulling all the punches.
Turns out his "Creation Machine" was stolen apparently.
Carnivores is not perfect but it never manages to offend me whenever I come back to it during Webcomic Checks. That honestly makes me glad that even after 25 years, Austin is still passionate and finding new ways to experiment with this comic. He's never earned a single dime working on this, but I don't think he gives a shit. That being said, BRING BACK LOTHAN.
Legacy of Dominic Deegan: There is some form of dwarven revolution going on, and dwarf women no longer have beards apparently. Man, comparing this to ongoing riff of Dominic Deegan the art feels...a lot more bland.
It no longer gives me the wibes of a comic whose art you could find in the cover of a punk rock album or in someone's tattoos.
I guess Mookie has switched to 100% digital art because of reasons? It could just be him being older but that doesn't mean he can't draw something cool like come on.
Ask the Werewolves: it's official, Issue 7 is....still not out yet.
And Alien Dice hasn't updated since its last page, so I guess the sensible thing is to look at something I try to look at very rarely...
Peter and Whitney: Oh hey, Jason the NICE man is back, and Peter shares his sketches and...
....
ARE YOU KIDDING MEEEEEEEEE????

Even before the Second World War, natural resources enmeshed Canada in the atomic age. Gilbert LaBine discovered the first uranium deposit at Great Bear Lake in 1930. By September of 1945, the Zero Energy Experimental Pile (ZEEP) at Chalk River, Ontario became the first reactor to go critical outside of the United States. At the end of war, the Government of Canada was eager to demonstrate its important role in bringing about the atomic age. In August of 1945, mere days after the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Canadians boasted of their longstanding ties to atomic science. The Department of Reconstruction’s press release, announcing the country’s participation in the Manhattan Project, pointed to Canadian entanglements with the atom dating back to 1899 when Ernest Rutherford – a New Zealander – began working on radioactivity at the McGill Laboratories. Later, when it came time to draft an official history of the Anglo-American-Canadian effort to develop atomic power, the Government of Canada had to push, and did push, to include Canada in the official account Canadian officials elected to forego the most common symbol of the atomic age: a nuclear weapons program of their own. But this did not mean that Canadians did not rely on nuclear weapons for their security and prepared to wage nuclear war if necessary. As atomic secrets came to be more closely guarded in the early Cold War, and as Canada came to play a bigger part in maintaining the U.S. nuclear umbrella, Ottawa was less and less willing to trumpet its nuclear role.
Got a head start there, better get cracking immediately
