That time Jimmy Carter saved Canada from nuclear destruction
"...The effects of this exposure eventually caught up to him.
"Carter developed cancerous tumors on his liver and brain at age 91 but was screened as cancer-free a year later."

« [U]ne gigantesque décharge en surface d’un million de tonnes de #DéchetsRadioactifs des Laboratoires de #ChalkRiver serait installée à moins d’un kilomètre de la rivière des Outaouais, et la CAQ ne voit aucune raison de demander la suspension de ce projet! »

"Inside the 'suitably opaque' response to a toxic sewage spill at Chalk River nuclear lab"
This line is both reassuring and alarming: "In a statement, CNL said it was unable to ultimately identify the root cause but that the failure wasn't linked to radioactive contamination"

"Toxic sewage discharged at Chalk River nuclear lab.
Neither #CNL nor Environment Canada said what pollutants were in the effluent, how much toxic wastewater was discharged or where, sparking fears it may have landed in the Ottawa River."

Although I'm a Canadian, I never heard about a partial meltdown at the nuclear reactor in #ChalkRiver #Ontario in 1953. (It occured 4 years before I was born.I don't know if it was publicized.) Apparently one of the team sent in that dissembled the damaged core was the 28 year old future president #JimmyCarter. https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2023/02/20/jimmy-carter-nuclear-reactor-navy/?fbclid=IwAR1EdeJroIAvjWk_wIa4UbEoaruUf52JPBTLGRRySuvKFzXs0br94T_saIM

TIL that Jimmy Carter, the 39th president of the United States, helped save the #ChalkRiver #nuclear reactor near #Ottawa after a meltdown ... one of the world's first major reactor accidents 🤯
"It was a very exciting time for me when the Chalk River plant melted down [...] I was one of the few people in the world who had clearance to go into a nuclear power plant," he said.
"There were 23 of us and I was in charge. I took my crew up there on the train."
This sounds like a schlocky action movie (thanks to @LundeenOttawa for the term and posting about this elsewhere), but it really happened:
