Louis Bertrand is a long time resident of Durham Region, east of Toronto, home to 9 currently working CANDU reactors. His background is electrical engineering, specializing in electronics and firmware, the software that gives electronic devices their smarts. He currently is a full time professor in the School of Science and Engineering Technology at Durham College, in Oshawa. He will be presenting as an intervenor at the public hearings for the Pickering nuclear station re-licensing application.             Tuesday is Rally Day! 12:30-1:30 approximately. Whenever the lunch break is called for by Mr. Binder, head of the hearing tribunal   promotes safer and cleaner alternatives to generation by fission or by combustion. They have commissioned studies into the effects of a Fukushima scale accident at the Pickering site, as well as studies challenging the accepted notions about nuclear power in Ontario.    Dr. Nancy Leveson has studied software safety and proposes an approach informed by system science to analyze the root causes of accidents, and hopefully prevent them. Of particular interest is her analysis of the fatal overdoses by the Therac-25, a radiation therapy machine produced in the 1980s by Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. (AECL). Even if you don’t follow the details of the software flaws, the story is quite dramatic. This was a wake-up call to the medical industry that software safety cannot be analyzed the same as hardware - scroll to the bottom of the page and look for The Therac-25 Accidents. The other popular paper is “High Pressure Steam Engines and Computer Software”, making the point that technology often moves ahead faster than scientific understanding, and bad things happen.   Dr. John Downer - Managing the credibility of nuclear reliability assessment in the wake of disaster And - On the institutional invisibility of nuclear disaster  Charles Perrow made a career of explaining why catastrophic accidents like airliner crashes and nuclear plant meltdowns should be considered normal. The following two articles in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists are a harsh look at the denial surrounding Fukushima and the nuclear industry in general - From Hiroshima to Fukushima  And   Email Louis Bertrand - louis@bertrandtech.ca

Recorded at the offices at Ontario Clean Air Alliance Jack Gibbons fought Coal in Ontario. Next is Ontario's risky and expensive nuclear power plants. The Ontario government is committed to re-building 10 ageing reactors at the Darlington and Bruce Nuclear Stations and extending the life of the 46 year-old Pickering Nuclear Station, locking us into high-cost, inflexible and dangerous nuclear power for another 5 decades while the rest of the world goes renewable. The good news is that we have lower cost, safer renewable options to meet our electricity needs. For more info:
