  Chalk River Laboratories - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
By 1944 the Chalk River Labs were opened and in September, 1945 the facility saw the first nuclear reactor outside of the United States go operational.
Chalk River Labs are also near the site of Canada's first nuclear power plant, a partnership between AECL and Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario, which went online in 1962.
Chalk River Labs remain an AECL facility to this day and are used as both a research (in partnership with the NRC) and production facility (on behalf of AECL) in support of other Canadian electrical utilities.

 Shoreham-by-Sea, Sussex, England. (Geological Page)
Sedimentary deposits of foraminiferans such as Globigerina and coccoliths (microscopic plankton with a calcium carbonate shell) lay down the chalk (Pic) which is rock of the South Downs near Shoreham.
The landscape of southeastern England is shaped by an undulating bed of thick white chalk, consisting of a pure limestone speckled with flint nodules in the upper beds.
The chalk floor of the basin carries a sequence of clays and sands of the Tertiary Period (those 1.6 to 66.4 million years old), chiefly the stiff, gray-blue London Clay, which lies up to 433 feet thick under the metropolis and supports most of its tunnels and deeper foundations.

 Republic River Basin Final Environmental Impact Statement
The study area for the project includes the entire drainage basin of the Republican River and its tributaries in Colorado, Nebraska, and Kansas down to the upper end of Milford Lake in Kansas, as shown on the overview map.
The Republican River Basin (Basin) is located in one of the most productive agricultural regions of the United States, with large acreages of winter wheat, sorghum grain and silage, dry beans, corn, and sugar beets.
The public use areas associated with the Republican River reservoirs are considered valuable for recreation because so much of the land in Nebraska and Kansas (approximately 97 percent) is privately owned and because manmade reservoirs represent a significant portion of the surface water in both States.

 Monday, July 31, 1989 The WASHINGTON POST
The federal government is still searching for a permanent site for disposing of "high-level" waste, the intensely radioactive spent fuel from nuclear reactors, and is testing a proposed site at Yucca Mountain, Nev. But Congress handed the low-level waste problem back to the states.
Diane D'Arrigo, a waste specialist for the Nuclear Information and Resource Service, said most of the waste to be disposed of in the state dumps is CRUD, an acronym for Chalk River Unidentified Deposits, after the Canadian plant where it was first identified.
CRUD is essentially radioactive rust from the pipes in nuclear power plants.

 AECL Seminar ~ A Plutonium/Thorium Economy in Canada
Similarly, an optimist could claim that if we are able to recover from nature the same percentage of uranium as is thought to be recoverable in the case of fossil fuels, the once-through fuel cycle would be able to supply sufficient energy for a world population of 10 billion for the next 10,000 years.
However, having uranium in some unidentified deposit at an unidentified concentration and having sufficient uranium delivered at reasonable cost in timely fashion are two entirely different propositions.
We need a start this year on a pilot plant for reprocessing and waste solidification to be operational by 1981, and we will need a second fuel fabrication pilot line for uranium-233 fuel to be operational by 1986.

In this context, we are obliged to mention a most improbable connection proposed by chemical engineer S. Mori in a paper presented at the Spring 2000 meeting of the American Geophysical Union.
In his paper, Mori said that positively charged oil deposits underground establish polarity with negatively charged oxygen ions at the surface.
When a thunderstorm passes over the oil field, he thinks this subsurface polarity links up with the electric polarity established between clouds and ground, creating the vacuum that spawns the tornado.

 NucNews - November 30, 1999
So attention is turning to next spring's warm-up, and researchers all along the mid-Atlantic Coast are stepping up their monitoring activities, from satellite observations to aircraft surveys to old-fashioned measurements from boats, in an attempt to track what happens.
So far as is known, this is the first time that virtually every river basin feeding the estuary has flooded at the same time, said Dr. Pat Tester, an oceanographer with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration based in Beaufort, N.C., whose research team is coordinating the air-sea-satellite monitoring.
These include, for instance, increased erosion caused by the cutting of forests and plowing of fields, deposition of pesticides and of nutrients in the form of fertilizer from farms and lawns, livestock waste and sewage systems that overflow in floods.
