Nuclear Energy Consultation Results

Government of Alberta
Results of the Alberta nuclear consultation demonstrating a broad range of views on nuclear power and its potential role in the province were released today by the Alberta government.

Among the key findings of the Alberta nuclear consultation was that most Albertans polled (45%) preferred that nuclear power plants be considered on a case-by-case basis. About one-fifth (19%) said the province should encourage proposals, while about one-quarter (27%) said the province should oppose proposals. Health, environment, and safety factors were identified as the most important issues Albertans expect government to consider.
